This question concerns the cocoa text system. Actually, the text system fills text containers according to their size. How can I inform the text system that a text container is full when its last word is for example "STOP".

The easiest thing would be to introduce a page break (NSFormFeedCharacter, 0xc) after the last line you want in the container.

If you need to do this completely dynamically, then it would probably be done at the NSTypesetter level. For example, you could use a custom typesetter subclass, override - actionForControlCharacterAtIndex:, and return NSTypesetterContainerBreakAction after the last line you want in the container. Alternatively you could work with one of the line fragment rect methods.
