Multicolumn Printing (Text Flow)?

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

I'm reasonably certain I'm going to have to jury-rig something to get 
this working, but just in case anyone is aware of some easy (or easier) 
solution, I thought it might be a good idea to ask...

I need to generate a printout featuring a header, a footer, and two 
columns of body text in between.  The body text is coming from a single 
body of text (in other words, on data entry, it is entered as one long 
data entry in a single field, but when printed I need to split it into 
two columns).  This is paragraph-style data, so I can hardly just count 
lines and split in half or anything...

My best guess is to create separate fields for the left and right 
columns and somehow figure out where to split the text so that I can 
fit the text neatly into the two columns.  Does anyone know of an easy 
way to figure out where to split this?

It would be even better if Rev had a feature to allow "overflow" text 
from a field to be continued automatically into another field, as many 
page layout programs do...  maybe I'll have to suggest it as an 
enhancement sometime.  Meanwhile, any easy way to figure this out for a 
semi-arbitrary (styled) text input?  Note that the text should 
generally be the same size -- I do not want the typeface or text size 
changed from my defaults, only bold/italic/underline, which I would 
capture as htmlText.

Thank you!
