I found this Paragraph Property because of Peter Haworth's LCStackBrowser
Plugin.
I have had problems using LCStackBrowser as of late - since version 8x.x. I
think the problem actually stems from the Behavior Scripts in LCStackBrowser
and conflicts with the AutoComplete behaviors - I'm not sure
Thank you! Works great.

Related, but different enough to draw attention to.
AFAIK all xTalks have supported styled text. It may be that HC 1.0 only
provided that for the whole field (I can't recall),
So, is this the same thing as the "paragraph" property? I find that this is
also super useful.

When a copy is done inside LC, then all the variants are created and placed on
the system clipboard (which is what caused the plain text paste problem
originally).

After a long long interval of not really coding anything, I’m thinking of a

if my iOS has something connected via Bluetooth, but that raises a lot more
questions than it answers, such as “what kind of device have we

This is right. I do a similar thing, but I have a command I wrote that gets all
the objects on a card, excluding groups and fields that are in a datagrid, then
loops through each one for a property I set in them indicating the array key I
want to populate the field with. This way I can load
Yes I thank "Livecode" but really should thank Trevor for the code (Datagrid)
behind my little handler. Suddenly going from dBase-query --> lcArray --> to a
form with multiple controls became easy.
I just hope it scrolls smoothly on Mobile (have yet to test it).

As the screenrect is the same but virtually larger / smaller based on the
scaleFactor you need calculate the scale factor based on the current
scaleFactor and the new scaleFactor
Try this:
on changeScaleFactor pNewScale
put the scaleFactor of this stack into tScale
put tScale / pNewScale

In fact, one can "fine tune" this operation to have this sort of effect:
put the number of chars in fld "ff" into NF
if char NF of fld "ff" = "a" then
set the textFont of char NF of fld "ff" to "MonsterMash"
else
set the textFont of char NF of fld "ff" to "UsualBoring"

In the great tradition of answering your own question.
I just tried the identical process in LC7
Loading the text file takes memory up to a similar size as in LC 8.1.10, but
the script runs successfully and even repeats for multiple collections of
keywords without memory pressure rising at
31 matches
