I have a customer who uses the output of a forumla which combines 8 fields into a single string with a specified delimiter. The problem is that the string is running off the end of the page so when we export to text and then they try to read in the text file, they are getting incomplete data. Any suggestions? Thanks.
 
You can try using the CHR(10) or chr(13) functions in the formula to embed a line feed and/or carriage return.

Ex {fld1}& {fls2} & {fld3}& chr(13)&{fld4}
