We are rewriting our FPW2.6a application in VFP 6.0 sp3, and are in need
of some help with the following situation.

The application prints several forms (created using the report designer)
which have fixed amounts of space for comments. In 2.6a, we used memo
fields for these comments, and were able to use _mline, memlines, etc.
to determine whether the contents of the field would fit in the space
allowed on the form. If it doesn't fit, "See Attached" is printed in
the box on the form instead, and a separate page is printed for the
comments.

Due to customer demand for the ability to format the text, we are trying
to use general fields (embedded OLE; MS Word) for these comments in the
new application. Is there a way to determine how many lines of text are
contained in these fields? Is there some other way to achieve the
behavior described above and still have support for text formatting like
bold, underline, TAB?

Any suggestions very much appreciated!
TIA!
