Um, probably reinventing the wheel here. Notwithstanding that, just tried this:
put the number of chars in fld "f1" into XCHARS repeat with XX=1 to XCHARS if the textStyle of char XX of fld "f1" is italic then put char XX of fld "f1" after fld "f2" end if end repeat where field "f1" contained a large text of which about 50% was italicised. It worked. Mind you, still didn't tell me how many paragraphs field "f1" contained. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
