Yes Andre, that is the line that fixed it, in a split second :-)
But here is a follow-up: Now I want to hide all lines that have no text
style and only show lines with colored text. I use:
repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines of fld 1
if the textcolor of line i of fld "text" is not empty then
set the hidden of line i of fld "text" to false
end if
end repeat
This is taking time too. Any suggestions how to speed this up?
