The selectedChunk gives the segment of text selected, in the form

  char <chartPosition> to <endPosition> of field <n>

If the selection is empty (insertion point only), the result is something like "char 5 to 4 of field 9" -- in this case to get the number of the word containing the insertion point, use:

the number of words of char 1 to (word 4 of the selectedchunk) of field 9

If a run of text is selected then the above will get the number of the word containing the end of the selection.

Is there an easy way to retrieve the word # of a field based on the
SelectedChunk? The SelectedChunk contains the start/end position of a word
of a field.  Just am trying to determine which word without to much
coding...if possible.

Thanks for any help!
