Split Large Text Field into several smaller fields

[Scott Walker]

Thanks to all who gave me ideas on splitting this text up.  I decided to
use the 5.6 version to do it since it has the "Wordwrap" feature.
Worked great and took about 2 minutes to implement.

Regards,

Scott

Take a look at the WORDWRAP() function.
