Thanks Mathias!
This works much better.

But I think I may have stumbled into a limitation in MOGRTs. It seems =
they
don't support line breaks in text fields in Premiere, so the user will =
have
to split the text manually and enter in different text fields for every =
line
break.

If I enter the following text in Premiere:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi =
ut
aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

This is what I get back:=20

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

So the second line is gone.
Bummer.=20

I tried with both area text and point text. No luck.

lines =3D txt.split(/|\r|\n|\x03/);
for(var i=3D0; i< lines.length; i++){
  lines[i]=3DbreakToGivenLength(lines[i],n);
}
lines.join("\n");


=97=97=97=97

Note that this still does not deal properly at tabs, for example (it =
only
breaks at simple line breaks but not at tabs).

Cheers,
