I am currently using replace function to add a new line after each "." but will be more presentable if there is a new line after every 5 words? How can I add a new line after every 5 words?

 
Since words can vary in length I would think a good approach would be div tag of a certain width rather than ASP that adds a line break. Or is there more to this?

That all depends on what it is you are presenting.

An 'article' would be horrible to read, a list of words or data not so bad.

How can I add a new line after every 5 words?

In plain text or as HTML?

You mean to *twitch* break your text to make it more presentable? [poke]
Why don't you put it in a div of a certain class and simply define the width of that div via css? Maybe with justified layout even?

I'm not sure it will looks good, but back to original question
you can split your text by " " (space) and when reassemble line back insert new line after every 5 array alements
