> put word 2 of the selectedchunk into S
> put word 4 of the selectedchunk into L
> set the textcolor of char S to L of cd field "textcontent" to "blue"

>Now here's the deal, the hypertext is all screwed up. If the hypertexted word

><B><GROUP><FONT color="#0000FF">yellow curve on graph</FONT></B></GROUP>
>If two or more hypertexted words or phrases appear in the same line then the

><B><GROUP><FONT color="#0000FF">neutrophils</FONT></B></GROUP>,
><B><GROUP></FONT><FONT>eosinophils</B></GROUP>

>Note where the second </FONT> occurs. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this?

Try this with MC 2.3A5.
