[AccessD] Memo field parsing

This may sound a naff solution but I reckon any clever one is going to be a
lot of work. So this is a pragmatic workaround.

Obviously getting the first 3 lines on the first page is easy. You just size
your textbox to 3 lines height and make it not grow. Then I was thinking
about the second part and thought....if you place a full height (or CanGrow)
text control on page 2 it will show the first 3 lines again and then the
rest. So if you can't stop it showing the first 3 lines can you blank them
out? As long as you don't want the control on page 2 to be too close to the
top of the sheet you just place another (empty) control, again of 3 lines
height over the top of it (with background not transparent). Seems to work.

Hi Gregg

You may find some hints about font metrics here at Stephen Lebans:

Physical space I think because I don't know how to get from one to the
other. The number of characters is going to be dependant on the how
many characters are lost to word wrapping isn't it? Is there a way to
calculate the number of characters that will appear in the first three
lines? If I knew that, I could do it.
