Letter-by-letter text - next line if word too long

[DistantJ]

Here's something I never quite figured out. Or rather, never got around to trying! A lot of us know how to get text to appear letter by letter, as if being typed, but the standard method has the text appear like it's typed in an application, if a word goes beyond the maximum width, the word types until it reaches the edge, then drops down a line.

I want to create a classic text effect, where it is 'typed' onto the screen, but goes onto the next line before beginning a word if that word would reach past the edge.

I've been thinking about a method which checks for spaces and detects if the next space would be on the same line, and if not, drops down one at the current space, but I haven't thought it through yet.

Anybody achieved this effect before? Any ideas or advice?

It's probably not what you want, but wouldn't it be simple to just have the source text in a list object? A little work goes into preparing each line in the list, but it should be the easiest way

I have inserted newline characters where needed.
