Methods to break pages and re-paginate

Question

I am trying to do the following:
- Load a text document into an NSString object
- Then open the contents in NSTextView
OK, that's easy. But what I want to do now is:
1. Break the text document to pages and display each page separately in Text View.
2. When resizing the Window (and hence the Text View) I want to automatically re-paginate the text contents of the page displayed and move the remaining text into the next page (if I make the Window smaller).
In summary, I want to have multiple "logical" pages of my text document and display each page separately in Text View with the ability to re-paginate when resizing.
Is there a method already defined in Cocoa to do this automatically for me, or do I have to build by own?

BMP,
How you go about rearranging pages in a document depends to a great extent on the content. When you say you want to move a page that implies that your pages are bounded regions of content that aren't dependent on what comes before and what follows. To do this compartmentallization, you should Insert > Section Break between pages. If you have done that, you can then drag the thumbnails around in the thumbnail pane.
Only Sections can be rearranged, not pages within a Section, by dragging thumbnails.
If you have a block of text that needs to be earlier or later in a Section, just Select the block, Edit > Cut, and reposition the Text Insertion Cursor and Edit > Paste.
Unless you have intentionally inserted a section break or Inserted a Section, you have only one section in your document and therefore can't drag thumbnails.
