Not sure what you mean, "how the field is actually formatted." If you are talking about possibly having empty lines following the last text in the field, then
   the number of lines of (word 1 to -1 of fld "myField")
would work. Compare this value with
   the number of lines of char 1 to (word 4 of the selectedchunk) of fld "myField"

Maybe I don't understand the problem, though.
