Thank you for your help Russ. I tried it. My only concern is that
styleRun only works for a string of text that requires the same style.
My problem is that I have sets of text each with words that need to
be style on different positions. I would like to get set by set and
style the words in each set that need to be style and then store
them in a variable . Finally display them in a editfield. Each set
of text can contain from 3 to 6 paragraphs.
For example this is my pseudo code:
DECLARE VAR1
WHILE NOT DB EORS
SELECT a set of text
FIND the word "Computer" in the set
STYLE the word computer in the set to BOLD and RED
STORE VAR1 = VAR1 + set
WEND
DISPLAY VAR1 in EditField
Hope this is a better picture of my task.

Hi BT
In case you haven't solved it yet, here is a modification of your
request, that works.

=================================
Dim s, s2 as StyleRun
s = new StyleRun
s2 = new StyleRun
s.text = "REAL"
s.bold = true
s2.text = "basic"
s2.textColor = rgb(255,0,0)
Editfield1.StyledText.AppendStyleRun s
Editfield1.StyledText.AppendStyleRun s2

The code above works but not the code below...
Dim s, s2 as styledText
s = new styledText
s2 = new styledText
s.text = "REAL"
s.bold(0,3) = true
s2.text = "basic"
s2.textColor(0,4) = rgb(255,0,0)
Editfield1.StyledText = s + s2
Has anyone tried to concatenate styledText before, if so how can I
do it? Thanks
BT
