Thanks, James and Karina--problem solved. Both of your solutions worked
equally well for formatting, but I went with James' solution because the
line numbers are closely tied to the on-screen clues, and the extra RETURNs
I was putting in was messing that up.
Just one adjustment in the syntax, James. Since topSpacing and
bottomSpacing are chunk expressions, it appears they can't be applied to
the cast as a whole; you have to apply it by paragraph. So, I'm formatting
with a loop:
repeat with i = 1 to text.line.count
member("clues").paragraph[i].bottomSpacing = 5
end repeat
Thanks again for the nudge in the right direction. I wonder, is there
anybody who knows *all* the Lingo keywords? (No answer required :-)
Cordially,
