I have a request which requires me to emulate a 'printed' form where a text
narrative is entered on the first page. If it doesn't fit on the first page
in the space provided, it needs to continue on the second page from the point
where it left off. The current method that was used to achieve this was to
estimate how many characters would fit in the space and then use string
functions to figure out where to continue on the next page. The problem with
this method is that the character count does not take into account the
paragraph breaks that might be in the text so that it is possible for the
text to over-run the space provided. I'm looking for a better method to
determine when the control is full that will automatically continue on the
next page in a different control.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
