Just saw an improvement in my code that *should* make it happy to work with
Unicode characters…
local OkayChars = ""
function CleanASCII3 DerText if OkayChars = "" then -- construct OkayChars
string as needed repeat with K1 = 32 to 126 put numToChar (K1) after
OkayChars end repeat
While Bob Sneidar's function should do the job of scrubbing weird characters
from text, am unsure why he felt the need to construct that massive pCustomList
variable. Seems to me that it would be simpler, and perhaps quicker, to do this
instead:
function cleanASCII2 DerASCII put "" into
Graham,
If you click the lock icon on the property inspector while you’re in edit mode,
the PI for that object will remain open when you switch back to run mode.
Hope this helps.

Well, I am happy to be wrong, so I repeated exactly what you did, of course
using my own bit of styled text. It didn’t work - partly because I can only
select the text in the field itself in ‘run’ mode, but I can only see the
Inspector in ‘edit’ mode. When I switch between the two modes, I
I was trying the same thing in LC 9.6 (dp4) and it works here. It works both
when selecting the text in the text pane in the navigator or selecting text in
the field itself.

I had to write a function that returns only true ASCII printable characters
because when I performed a drag/drop operation from a searchable PDF, I
discovered that Acrobat puts all kinds of hidden characters in the text that
really messes with LC. It’s a simple function:

I’m using LC 9.6.0 rc1 on a Mac. Just now I did something very simple that
didn’t work. I created a label field, opened the Property Inspector for the
field and changed its text - that worked. Then I attempted to change the font
size - that didn’t work. The appearance of the label in the stack
