So I have a field, let's say field "text", with the contents "one two three four".
if I do this: put the long id of fld "text" into fRef put "deux" into word 2 of fRef it puts "deux" into word 2 of "field id 1022 of stack…" and doesn't resolve fRef as a field reference. But if I do: put the text of fRef into tText it *does* resolve fRef as a field reference, as I would expect. It appears that the engine only resolves these references when the context/syntax indicates that it should expect an object reference, and not otherwise. Is there any way I can put "deux" into word 2 of the field without jumping through hoops, like put "deux" into newWord do "put newWord into word two of" && fRef ?? I don't want to do: put the text of fRef into tText put "deux" into word 2 of tText set the text of fRef to tText because the field may contain formatted text that I want to preserve. ideas? or am I stuck with hoops? -- Peter Peter M.
