Thanks, I'll save that for someday. In this case though, the text is wrapped and there are
anchors scattered around inside paragraphs. Unless someone else has an idea it looks like I'm
going to have to extract lookup tables. That's going to be quite a job.

I'm still working on htmltext in a field. There are anchors that indicate positions elsewhere

need to reproduce that.
Is there a way to translate an anchor like "#12345" to the location in the visible field text
it links to?
I've thought of a couple of alternate ways to do it involving lookup files, but it would be
better to do a direct translation to avoid the extra overhead.
The closest I have doesn't account for softwraps, but FWIW:
function fwAnchorTagLine pFldObj, pTag
local tA
local tLastLine
local tNumRuns
put the styledText of pFldObj into tA
put item 2 of extents(tA) into tLastLine
repeat with i = 1 to tLastLine
put item 2 of extents(tA[i]["runs"]) into tNumRuns
repeat with j = 1 to tNumRuns
if pTag is in tA[i]["runs"][j]["style"]["linkText"] \
AND "link" is not in \
tA[i]["runs"][j]["style"]["textStyle"] then
return i
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end fwAnchorTagLine
