I have a page where teachers write narratives on students- this will be sent to a pdf. I'm wondering about all of the empty space- each page can hold 5000 characters. Depending on the teacher groups a student may have a 1 -6 page narrative...(ie: one teacher may write 200 characters/another 1500/etc...)What I want to do is figure out- how to put these narratives together without a bunch of space between the entries. (ie: we discussed blocks of 1250 characters, but that may look odd if teachers do not write much) 1. record count of narratives (know how to do that) 2. count the characters used in each narrative. 3. Output the narratives in chuncks of 5000 characters. (or to the narratives that come close to 5000) For example narrative1=2000 characters narrative2= 50 characters narrative3=1000 characters narrative4=2000 characters so the page would only show the first 3 narratives Make sense? doable?? thanks, j
