Simple answer is no.  However, depending on the version of filePro you are
running, you could use wordwrap to handle the continuation of data into a
second or third or more fields.

The other solution, depending on where this data is coming from, would be to
increase the field size,  filePro will wrap the field to the next  line.

If you don't have a version with wordwrap, you can always parse the data to
figure where a logical break would be and move data into another field.
