Showing Description in Legend

Question

Hello Cartographers,
I have a legend with a detailed description I am trying to add.  I have been able to add the description, but am not able to have the text of the description for each layer wrap.  The text is one long string and makes for a very widelagend box.  Anyone that could help me wrap the text of my description in the legend, I would really appreciate the help.

Sincerely,
Zach

Has anybody written an update to this script that works in ArcGIS Desktop v. 10?  I have a polygon layer that I want to symbolize by feature, but the main title is too long, and the "description" work around won't work for the main title of the layer when you symbolize by feature.You can try the "Multiline Legend Text" extension in ArcScripts - http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=12550

It is an old script - but it works in ArcView 9.3.1
