If you cannot do it his way, think about this:With 4 equally sized text blocks, you will need 3 images to separate them. Count the number of words in the entire volume of text, then divide it by 4 (using ceil() ) which will give you roughly the number of words in each of 4 sections of text, then set the results to a variable [numWords].Next, use listwords combined with [index]\[numWords] to determine where to place each of the 3 image tags in the text. This will place each tag in between two blocks of equally sized text, and it will not break any words apart.
