Wrap=Virtual does not actually put anything in to the textto indicate a return or break, it just keeps the users from putting returnsin the text. I am not sure that 'hard' will actually put breaks in thetext either but you might give it a shot.In the past I had asked for a [WrapText] context to control the amount oftext allowed per line. I had a problem with emails being generated from adatabase that had large amounts of text in a paragraph that I needed to beable to control the break at say 74 chars.I think Ken and some others came up with a work around, using [getchars]and [loop]s, but it was a little to cumbersome for me.Britt T.--------------------------------------------------------|| Britt@fishingworld.com || Britt@easttexas.com ||--------------------------------------------------------|| World Masters - || P.O.
