No, you don't have to put a hard return in the actual text... the 
formattedText property of a field returns the data to your code AS IF 
it had hard returns where it wrapped. Sorry I wasn't being clear... So 
to find out what is the last char on the first line of a field with 
wrapped text before the line wraps you'd do:

  put char -1 of (line 1 of the formattedText of fld 1)
