I'm writing a macro to put a set of paragraphs (answer choices to a test
question) into a table. The idea is to reduce page count, so instead of
listing the answer choices a, b, c, and d on their own lines, they'll appear
in a two-row, two-column table that takes up less space.

The problem is that some questions' answer choices are simply too long to
fit into the columns of the table, and will wrap to the next line within
their cells--which looks bad and defeats the point (reducing page count).

So I need a test to see whether a set of answer choices is short enough to
fit into the fixed-width table. I can't count characters, because I'm using
Times New Roman, a proportional font, so an "M" takes up more space than an
"i."

I'm also using Word 2002/XP. I've heard that 2003 and 2007 offer more
fine-grained control over lines in VBA, but I'm stuck with 2002.

Thanks!
Ben
