This can be easy. 1. Make sure the content does not adjust itself based on the size of the browser window. That is to say that the space that contains the content should be a fixed width. 2. Then you need to calculate how many words you can legitimately fit into this fixed space without going over. If you 150 words will fit in the space but go right up to the very edge and are almost spilling into a new "page" you should pull the number of words back to 120 or something to try and make sure that the text will not spill over. You can be more precise if you use a fixed width font like Courier New. If you use a variable width font (not sure if that is the technical term) you'll have to do a little more guessing because 10 i's are not the same width as 10 w's. hth, chris. p.s.
