There are probably faster ways to do this, but try this:
function extraText f
-- returns the htmlText that overflows size of fld f
-- and deletes it from field f
repeat with c = 1 to length(fld f)
if the formattedHeight of char 1 to c of fld f > the height of fld f then
put the htmlText of char c to -1 of fld f into myHtml
delete char c to -1 of fld f
return myHtml
end if
end repeat
return empty
end extraText
