Hey, Jim,
Thanks for stepping in and clearing up Hershel's probable intent.
Too much for me as well. Unless he is actually trying to emulate
a Layout Program such as Quark, he'd probably be better off
revising his objective. If so, maybe someone else has an idea.

Ah, you mean 'text flow' or 'story flow' like they do in Quark.
That is a
specialty feature that word processors and layout programs use, just
like
text wrap. You could build it in Rev using the formattedHeight,
formattedWidth. It will get tricky if you want to allow multiple font
specs, such as bold, font face, etc.
More than I would want to tackle.

Hershel,
Maybe I'm kind of dense, but saying "page layout" just doesn't
tell me
much. Sorry for being so insistent; maybe if I knew the objective of
your program it might. Perhaps you've mentioned that earlier and I
just missed picking up on it.
If you change the field size then the text should automatically
reorganize
and it should carry on to the next page or previous or vise versa.

Hi Hershel,
For page layout.
Thanks, Hershel
I've been catching your postings for the past day or so, and I'm
wondering: why are you not merely using a scrolling text field to
hold
all of this text? The only reason that I could think of for your
needing to separate it into a series of "pages" would be if it
is to
be associated with some art work that would be associated with
that
text. Is that the case? If so, what you are proposing is not
difficult
unless the text is subject to change. I believe your problem
must be
more complicated than you have presented to the list. What are you
trying to do? In Rev there are so very many ways to skin any cat
that
it is difficult to suggest solutions without truly understanding
the
underlying objective(s).
HTH,
Joe Wilkins
