I am sorry to report that the pageranges property of fields is still broken in
7.0.
Create a field and place this in a button:
on mouseUp
put empty into fld 1
set the height of fld 1 to 60
repeat with i = 1 to 10
put i & cr after fld 1
end repeat
set the spaceabove line 2 of fld 1 to 10
put the pageranges of fld 1 & cr
put "the first line should be 1,6" after msg
end mouseUp
