Ok thats cool. So if its NOT just an insertion point then the number of words of char 1 to (word 2 of the selectedchunk) of field "yourfield" will give the number of words preceeding the selection?
So this whole thing could boil down to on mouseUp if word 4 of the selectedchunk < word 2 of the selectedchunk then put the number of words of (char 1 to (word 4 of the selectedchunk) of field 1) else put the number of words of (char 1 to (word 2 of the selectedchunk) of field 1) end if end mouseUp I knew I was making my solution WAY too difficult. Thanks for this.
