Hi Kevin,
Your only other option would be to pick up the bottom lines as a Memo field using the End Field On Option, Left Justification or Minimun Action. It's hard to say if this Memo field will be able to be broken up. This will depend on phrases that can be used in the Substr(memo_field,Instr("Phrase",memo_field),length). Also, calculated fields built from Memo fields can only be 254 characters.
