Hi Shari,
Probably, Sarah wanted (or could have wanted) to write this:
put the textStyle of word 3 of fld "Formatted" into tStyle
put "new" into word 3 of fld "Formatted"
set the textStyle of word 3 of fld "Formatted" to tStyle
If you want to append text to a field, you can do this:
put number of chars of fld x into myNrOfChars
put the textStyle of last char of fld x into theStyle
put myWhateverText after fld x
set the textStyle of char myNrOfChars to -1 of fld x to theStyle
Of course, you can also put text before a field, or before char y of
fld x or after char y of fld x etc and you can set the textStyle of
the added text to char 1 of fld x, char y-1 of fld x or char y of fld
x respectively.

If I've got a field with nicely formatted text, some bold, some
underlined,
etc., is there a way from within a script to change a word in that
field
without losing the formatting?
Untested, but how about storing the textStyle, changing the word, then
re-setting the styles.
e.g.
put the textStyle of word 3 of fld "Formatted" into tStyle
put "new" into fld "Formatted"
set the textStyle of word 3 of fld "Formatted" to tStyle
Cheers,
Sarah
