The MLINE solutin worked for me so I will take your advice and try a ALINES solution and check for speed difference.

SET MEMOWIDTH TO 75
>>>lcMemo = < text to format >
>>>lcNewMemo = ""
>>>_MLINE  = 0
>>>FOR i= 1 TO memlines(lcMemo)
>>>	lcNewMemo = lcNewMemo + MLINE(lcMemo,1,_MLINE) + CHR(13) + CHR(10)
>>>ENDFOR
>>>
>>>REPLACE mymemo WITH lcNewMemo
>>>* or if you don't want CRLF after the last line
>>>REPLACE mymemo WITH LEFT(lcNewMemo, LEN(lcNewMemo)-2)
>>>
