Oh, I see.

What I did was:

1. Look at the new document.
2 The document already contains the necessary texts with the applied styles.
3. Set max number of characters allowed.
4. Count the number of characters in the textbox.
5. If it exceeds max amount, add carriage return at the comma.

The code looks something like this:

{
   newDocument = app.activeDocument;
   myField = newDocument.textFrames.item("Section_1");

if(myField == null)
     {
	"textFrame is empty."
     }
     else
     {
	var myString = new String();
	myString = myField.toString();
	var max = 23;
	addCarriageReturn(max, myString);
     }
}

function addCarriageReturn(iMaxLength, sValue)
{
     if (sValue.length > iMaxLength)
     {
	alert(sValue.length);
	sValue = sValue.replace(",",",/r", sValue);
     }
     return sValue;
}

I know the code doesn't work, and I still have trouble on the coding because I am new at this. I had the problem of the whole character/paragraph style being removed the last time I tried to do something.

Thanks again!
