The bottom line is one shouldn¹t have to do anything like this when text is separated by spaces or tabs. Text should wrap automatically. That said, if using LC 6.5 or later, you can do what you show in your stack much more dynamically by using something like the measureText function within a resizeControl handler. Unlock your source field, and add the following script to the field: on resizeControl local theWrappedText put width of me into myWidth put margins of me into myMargins subtract item 1 of myMargins from myWidth if item 3 of myMargins is not empty then subtract item 3 of myMargins from myWidth else subtract item 1 of myMargins from myWidth put text of me into myText replace return with empty in myText -- RESET TEXT lock screen put 1 into S repeat with N = 1 to number of chars of myText put measureText(char S to N of myText,me) into theLineWidth if theLineWidth > myWidth then put return after theWrappedText put N into S end if put char N of myText after theWrappedText end repeat set text of me to theWrappedText unlock screen end resizeControl You also make the field wrap instantaneous by placing the field in a group and triggering the wrap from resizing the group since groups generate the resizeControl message while they¹re being resized. A sample of this has been uploaded to your post in the forum.
