Right now, it's all part of a pretty large application but I think I
can create a simple test stack with one card in it, although you'll
still need the SQLite database.
I haven't posted stack files before - how do I do that?

Yes this is true and there are several others that could apply as well.
As I mentioned in my initial email there are many solutions and I wanted to

Yes this works correctly. Also, I took Peter's solution and found that
starting a mouseUp outside the graphic does not report anything because the
graphic has it's own mouseUp (and viceversa with mouseDown).
The fix for this is to do a mouseUp and mouseDown for the card and determine
if the mousel
Ah! I overlooked that. Here's a fix:

put false into wasWithinGrc
put the clickH into h1
put the clickV into v1
end mouseDown
on mouseMove h,v
if h,v is within the rect of grc 1
then put true into wasWithinGrc

Hi Peter,

here.

Hi Phil,

The firstIndent property of the field can be set to a negative number,
but that would only take care of one level of indenting.

Can it be restricted to only editing one bullet at a time, or does the user
need the ability to click
Hi Scott.
Unless you can find a way to embed a Microsoft object into a Revolution stack
(never mind a standalone) I don't think there is a way to do this. Unless CSS
is supported in HTMLText, I don't see how you can get any kind of special
formatting to work in a native LiveCode field. Now if
I haven't thought this through, but .
there are only 3 (or maybe 4) different indent cases.
create a suitable image for each case (i.e. normal, bulletted, 2nd
level, continuation, etc.) which is blank space of the appropriate
number of pixels wide
then insert an extra character at the start
gee - I thought those ones created by the online generator were pretty good!
you'll have to roll your own - hey that's fun...
