Dear Tom,
Many thanks. I think this gets me in the right direction, but concatenates all levels into one long level. Any further thoughts?
Best regards,
Jan

This may not be the best way but in the past I think I have done something like
levels(x) <- paste(strwrap(levels(x),20,prefix = ""),collapse = "\n")

I am using barplot, and barplot2 in the gregmisc bundle, in the following way:
barplot2(sort(xtabs(expend / 1000 ~ theme)), col = c(mdg7, mdg8, mdg3, mdg1), horiz = T, las = 1, xlab = "$ '000", plot.grid = T)
The problem is that the values of 'theme', which is a factor, are in some cases rather long, so that I would like to wrap/split them at a space once they exceed, say, 20 characters. What I'm doing now is specifying names.arg manually with '\n' where I want the breaks, but I would like to automate the process.
I've looked for a solution using 'strwrap', but am not sure how to apply it in this situation.
