Hi,
Hoping some clever people can help out here! I have a list of sentences, which I need to place in another doc. This other doc can take up to 3 lines of separate text with each line having a set max number of characters. Is there a way to take the original full sentence and split this over the 1, 2 or 3 lines based on the number of characters which are limited to each line, but only take full words? For example, one sentence might be: Ideally the text result should look something like this each line If the first line in the doc can take a max character limit of 21. 21 characters is: Ideally the text resu However, I only want the result to be the full words from that result, so: Ideally the text I then want the second line to lead from that. If this second line in the doc can take a max character limit of 15. The next 15 characters after the previous full word, is (ignoring the start and end spaces): result should look someth Again, I only want the result to be the full words from that result, so: result should look And the same for the thrid line. If this limit were 18, the letters following on from the previous would be: something like this each lin Full words mean the result would need to be: something like this each So the final text back would be: 1st line: Ideally the text 2nd line: result should look 3rd line: something like this each However, if there is a sentence with only 18 chars, we still want the words back. Same goes for sentences that would fulfil 2 lines (21 and 15). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,! |
