That's what I thought, also.

What I really want, is a function which can split text into separate lines. I want pass two parameters, the text and the number of characters per line, and to have the formatted text returned. Every line, except the last one, should end with chr(13)+chr(10). I don't want words to be split, and I don't want signs, like comma, point, exclamation mark and so on to be moved to the beginning of a new lines. Sounds easy, but I have found it to be much trickier that I thought. Or maybe it's just me who have entered weekend mode too early?
