I am using the TextMerge() function inside of a HTML table with preset widths. The source data is contained in a memo field and with a SET MEMOWIDTH TO 50 the following text returns a value of 3.

XXX FILE NO. 12345678901 J. DAVID V
XXX FILE NO. 12345678901 J. DAVID V. ABCDEFGHIJ
A/R

When the text renders the output is on four lines as follows:

XXX FILE NO. 12345678901 J. DAVID V
XXX FILE NO. 12345678901 J. DAVID V. 
ABCDEFGHIJ
A/R

is there a better way to determine the number of rows that the variable output length will occupy?
