Hi,
I got an idea after your suggestion that I should explore the Text::Wrap
module. If I can get perl to split the string after every so many
characters, I'll have achieved what I want. Is that possible?

Hi,
Do word processors insert any character for word wraps like they do for
new
lines(\n)? If yes, what is the corresponding perl control character? I
need
to split a multi line string from a word table cell at the word wraps.

Some of the more commonly used ASCII codes:
Chr(9) = tab
Chr(11) = manual line break (shift-enter)
Chr(12) = manual page break
Chr(13) = vbCrLf (return)
Chr(14) = column break
Chr(30) = non-breaking hyphen
Chr(31) = optional hyphen
Chr(32) = space
Chr(34) = quotation mark
Chr(160) = nonbreaking space
For more see also "Chr$" under VBA Help.
USAGE EXAMPLE: Selection.TypeText text:=Chr(12)

Not that I know of. AFAIK they calculate the wrap everytime. Check out
the
Text::Wrap module.
