 Can I somehow predict where a
 RichText will be too long for a box of 
 text on a page, then cut it there, and let the rest flow
 into another box?
 
 You all know this from DTP programs: you have several text
 frames, and 
 text is running on from one frame into the next if too
 long.
 
 I guess this isn't possible because there seems to be no
 intelligent 
 helper function that can handle RichText strings like e. g.
 UTF-8 
 strings are handled in contrary to ASCII strings. As far as
 I can see, 
 RichText is simply a UTF-8 string containing a lot of XML
 tags. A 
 special Left, Mid or Right function would have to
 reconstruct these tags 
 for the other part of the string to keep the tags
 functionable.
 
 A workaround would be to extract the pure text and store the
 tagged 
 values somewhere else until the text has been cut apart. But
 it would 
 make the whole automatic in RichText senseless.
 
 But maybe I just didn't find this functionality?
 
 Regards
 Rolf
