Hi James,
Are you looking for something like this?
on mouseUp
select word clickedWord() of me
end mouseUp
function clickedWord
put the clickChunk into myChunk
return number of words of \
(char 1 to (word 2 of myChunk) of the text of the target)
end clickedWord
Put the mouseUp handler into the script of a field, put the
clickedWord function somewhere higher up the message hierarchy or in
the same field script.

It's election time and I'm working with election files with lots of

For reasons I won't go into, I need a function like: ClickWord which
will return something like:
Word 2 of line 3 of field 4
It would be something like "ClickLine" only it returns the word
number as well. ClickChunk is close but no cigar.
Seems like this would be a natural for RunRev, but I have forgotten
how to make the enhancement request.
Anybody? Where is the RunRev web site?

P.S.
My kludge of this looks like:
function theClickWord
-- this function returns: word tWordNo of line tLineNo of field
tFieldNo
put the clickLine into tClickLine
put word 2 of tClickline into tLineNo
put last word of tClickLine into tFieldNo
put the value of tClickLine into tLineText
put the clickText into tWord
put wordoffset(tWord,tLineText) into tWordNo
--Just to see how it might look if implemented in RunRev
put "word " & tWordNo & " of line " & tLineNo & " of field "&
tFieldNo into msg box
return tWordNo, tLineNo, tFieldNo
end theClickWord
