From your post I assume you are looking for a bit of code that can take a string and format in the way you have stated.
This might help:
DECLARE@vcStrvarchar(100),
@vcResultvarchar(200),
@iStartint,
@iLenint,
@iSpaceAtint
SET @vcStr = 'THIS IS A TEXT MESSATE SORRY IT IS A MESSAGE'
SET @vcResult = ''
SET @iLen = LEN(@vcStr)
SET @iStart = 1
WHILE @iStart 0
AND @iLen - @iStart > 15
BEGIN
/* Use REVERSE to find last occurrence of a space in the current 15 characters */
SET @iSpaceAt = 16 - CHARINDEX(' ',REVERSE(SUBSTRING(@vcStr,@iStart,15)))
/* build up result string */
SET @vcResult = @vcResult + SUBSTRING(@vcStr,@iStart,@iSpaceAt - 1) + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
SET @iStart = @iStart + @iSpaceAt
END
ELSE
BEGIN
/* append remaining chunk of data*/
SET @vcResult = @vcResult + SUBSTRING(@vcStr,@iStart,(@iLen - @iStart) + 1)
SET @iStart = @iLen + 1
END
END
SELECT@vcResult

Try something like this...
DECLARE @Data varchar(50)
DECLARE @Value int
DECLARE @Count int
DECLARE @val varchar(16)
SET @Data = 'THIS IS A TEXT MESSATE SORRY IT IS A MESSAGE'
SET @Value = 1
SET @Count = 1
WHILE @Count <= LEN(@Data)
BEGIN
SELECT @val = SUBSTRING(@Data,@Value - 1,15) + CHAR(10) + CHAR(13)
SELECT @val
SET @Value = @Value + 15
SET @Count = @Count + 15
END

is there a way of doing this with multiple rows that vary in length? i have 6000+ rows that have variable text and need a hard break after each period.
any suggestion would help

You could try something like:
REPLACE(YourText, '.', '.' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10))

REPLACE(fields_name, '. ', '. ' + CHAR(10))
