When I try to access it I keep getting an error message. Secondly, using the keyword 'word' when dealing with htmlText doesn't seem to be a safe option to me at all, in fact it would be the last option I'd think of using. If a field contained multiple lines of words, formatted in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways, and the htmlText of one of those lines might look like this: <p><font color="#FF0000"><b>boink</b></font></p> If I were to use the keyword 'word', Rev considers <p><font to be the first word and the second word is color="#FF0000"><b>boink</b></font></p> putting "<box>" and "</box>" before and after any of these words will result in ill formed HTML. Granted, if you do a grep for >([^<]*)< you can extract just the content between the html tags and then using the 'word' keyword will work for you. But now that I appreciate that this original post is related to another post where I put forward the idea of using the 'token' keyword, I'll suggest it again. Doing grep and trying to keep track of where in a line of html text you are and what word needs to be replaced with what, plus needing to deal with all the punctuation marks that get included inside what Rev considers is a word, is very involved for this old brain and dare I say, unsafe or at least fraught with possible errors. Using token, there are only a few special characters you have to account for, you can then just run through every token and when you get a match: put "<box>" & token tTokenCounter of tHtmlText & "</box>" into token tTokenCounter of tHtmlText Probably not the fastest way, but relatively simple.
