How did you manage to find this thread after more than half a decade?

It's so unlike how the rest of the language works I'm tempted to consider it a bug.

Richard exploits a terrific feature of grouped sharedText fields; you are essentially typing into all such fields on all cards at once. But does the OP want to see that " original" field when he moves to the "much smaller" card window? Yes, this is based on a guess about the design goals. Given the...

- place fld 1 of card A in a group
- set that field's sharedText to true
- set the group's sharedBehavior to true
- place the group on all cards

...then you can type into it from any card without the need to fiddle with multiple stacks, window focus, etc.

FormattedText will convert soft wraps to hard wraps, simplifying per-line adjustments.

You could replace the text with the formattedText to make apparent (non-parapraph) lines independently adjustable. But I think no matter how hard you try to do this by manipulating field contents, it won't likely perform as well as how other systems handle it. The key is that it becomes a much harde...
