I'm not sure I completely understand the problem, but I suggest looking at the formattedHeight of the field. in pseudo-code: put the complete text into the field repeat until the formattedHeight of the field is less than the actual height of the field delete the last line of the field end repeat see how many lines are in the field delete that many lines from the start of the original data move to the next field and repeat the process HTH, Sarah _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
