Thanks, Scott. Can this same thing be accomplished without naming the chunk explicitly, as in... the HTMLText of value(linesToShow)...? (That didn't seem to work, which is why I asked the list.)

The chunks I pick up are sections from a much longer text field which are delimited by markers placed at beginning and end points to coincide with "pages." Maybe this isn't the most efficient way to do it, but I can edit these fields easily... I just need to access them as HTMLText via the variable which stores the chunk info. I can get the text easily enough this way, but not the formatting.

What would the correct syntax be to achieve the following...

I have a section of formatted text in a field on card 2 that I want
exported to another field on card 1.  The line I want to execute is
something like the following:

set the htmlText of field "originalText" of cd 1 to value(linesToShow)

...where linesToShow = (line 2 to 10 of field 1 of cd 2)

put the HTMLtext of line 2 to 10 of fld 1 of cd 2 into tData set the HTMLtext of fld "originalText" of cd 1 to tData
