</div>You'll have to keep travk of line-counts and usr \parshape.<br></blockquote><div><br><br>Thanks, Donald, but I don't see how \parshape let's me know how much of the text fit on a line (or set of lines). I can work out that the height of a box divided by the baselineskip tells me how many lines will fit, but how can I determine what text has to overflow into the next box?<br>
