I can't figure out why, but it is the commas causing the issue, replacing them with stops allows the speech to complete the full sentence. Using exactly the same sentence in Text Edit allows the speech to complete with commas. Paul On 2013-03-04, at 12:48 PM, Thomas McGrath III wrote: I am

Charles, Not sure I totally understand what you need, a custom property is just a container so you can't set it's text style to anything, but to store text styles alongside the text data you could store the data as an array, maybe something like; To store the data… set the cPropA[label]
