Possibly. Thinking of it mores as linked fields, with text flowing from one
to another (as in Quark Express). Did this in HyperCard ages ago, and it
would be *much* easier in Metacard.
I haven't played with the formattedHeight/width etc properties yet, so I am
sure there is someone on the list who knows how to do this much better than
me...
I think a starting place would be to create a function which can take a
field of any dimensions, a nice big chunk of text, and figure out where to
cut the text so as the maximum number of words fits into the field. Even
better would be to have the keeplinestogether, or similar options, but for
now...
function wordNumOfOverflow fldObject, someText
...
return wordNum
end wordNumOfOverflow
Also not sure about the implications/possibility of using styled/htmlText...
anyway I think this is the key function?
