How would you do something like say you only want 1000 characters on a page and anything more than that than a script would break it up into 2 pages, sort of like example here, lets just say there is a limit to 1000 characters to page in the example: User inputs article using form... script scans the article and determines how many characters if there are less than 1000 characters than its one page, but if it is more than 1000 characters than it would break it up into 2 or maybe 3 pages etc. But say if the "r" in the word "word" is the 1000 character, than the script would make it so that "word" appears on next page |

I know, How about we count the number of spaces? Much simpler?
