My experience using Metacard 2.5 is that when you click on a palette the selection in the topStack is lost, so the selectedText is empty. I use these handlers in my palette's script as a way of recording and restoring the selection: on mouseEnter global chunkStore get the selectedChunk if it is empty then put empty into chunkStore else put it && "of" && word -2 to -1 of the long id of the selectedField into chunkStore end mouseEnter on mouseDown global chunkStore if chunkStore is not empty then do "select" && chunkStore end mouseDown So on mouseUp, the selection is where you want it and references to it should work properly. There is a slight flashing associated with the selection being lost and restored, so I'd be interested to hear other methods.
