I import a text file that is tab delimited into many text boxes that are linked together in a Pagestream document. The problem is that the size (number of text characters) of the "chunk of text" that is tab delimited varies all over the place. Is there any way to set-up/configure a text box that will only allow for one and only one "chunk of text" within it? In other words, every time there is a tab, I want the text to jump to the next text box. This would save considerably on my editing time.

Thanks,

Al

There is no way to configure the text box for that, but it should be pretty easy to accomplish after import. PageStream allows searching and replacing codes, so you could replace \t (tab) with the code for a column break (possibly \c, I don't recall).
