Hi Richmond,
It may not be as easy as you think:
repeat with x = 1 to number of words of line y of fld "What"
if word x of line y of fld "What" is "only" then
set the textColor of word x of line y of fld "What" to red
end if
end repeat
or
put the htmlText of fld "What" into myText
replace "only" with "<font color=" & quote & \
"red" & quote & ">only</font" in myText
set the htmlText of fld "What" to myText
Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages.

what is wrong with this:
if line 5 of fld "WHAT" contains "only" then
set the textColor of "only" in line 5 of fld "WHAT" to red

I would like to set certain phrases in a sentence to a different
textColor to the other words . . .
. . . should be dead easy.
Richmond.
Oh, well . . .
I was well aware I could do this:
on mouseUp
set the textColor of word 3 of line 1 of fld "WHAT" to red
end mouseUp
it just seemed incredibly longwinded to have to write stuff like this:
on mouseUp
if word 3 of line 1 of fld "WHAT" is "only" then
set the textColor of word 3 of line 1 of fld "WHAT" to red
end if
end mouseUp
and then, as you have suggested, write a routine to trawl through all
the words in a line.
Richmond.
