I did something similar with devmx, but I split body out into it's own table. So, from articles you had a one to many relationship with a article_body table that had multiple bodies for one article. Each one had a column that handled the sorting of that body so the public side knew which body to display first, etc.
However, without having some kind of placeholder text that you had in the single body blob, I don't see how you can do this and know where to page break correctly at. You could try to say that each page should only be 500 pages long and find something on cflib.org to help you make sure that you didn't break in the middle of a word. However, I'm sure it'll be annoying at best and you should probably split them out into bodies yourself to make sure that it 'flows' naturally.

I am moving a magazine to the web and some of the articles are huge. Right now I have the database set up so that the content just gets put into one field. I will be hand coding the html for each article then putting the images in a global directory and will be referenced by the magazine edition etc. My question is if there was any way to break the article into multiple pages like you see on some news sites, while still keeping the whole block of content in one field. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
