You could make the paragraph the key of an array and the element would be the number/code you use to know which paragraph is chosen. Is your paragraph defined by CR's? Are they long or short text runs? Is the entire paragraph the link? You could use an array or custom properties of the stack. Your paragraphs will become the keys of a single array or each paragraph will become a custom property of the stack. In each case, the paragraphs must be unique for all characters, otherwise, two identical paragraphs will end up being the same key of an array or custom property. --array method global gParagraphArray set the itemdel to cr put item 1 of fld readingMaterial into keyTxt put (the short id of this card &"c"&1) into gParagraphArray[keyTxt] put item 2 of fld readingMaterial into keyTxt put (the short id of this card &"c"&2) into gParagraphArray[keyTxt] thus a loop is born...... repeat with x = 1 to the number of items in fld readingMaterial put item x of fld readingMaterial into keyTxt put (the short id of this card &"c"&x) into gParagraphArray[keyTxt] end repeat set the itemdel to comma -------------------------------------- custom property method set the itemdel to cr repeat with x = 1 to the number of items in fld readingMaterial put item x of fld readingMaterial into keyTxt set the keyTxt of this stack to (the short id of this card &"c"&x) end repeat --------------------- Now you need to write a couple routines to handle changes you make to the text, thus the stored text becomes obsolete clear global gParagraphArray repeat with c = 1 to the number of cards --add to the global array here end repeat ---or---- set the customproperties of this stack to empty repeat with c = 1 to the number of cards --add to the customproperties here end repeat This will double the size of your stack, since all of the text will be stored twice. There are many other variations, but you get the gist. Hope this gives you some ideas Jim Ault Las Vegas _______________________________________________ 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
