Well, (1) if you needed to do that, you'd have to store the chunk you wanted to affect and how you wanted to affect it, like a custom property with: 1,5,bold 6,20,italic which would make the first 5 chars bold and the next 15 chars italic (I know, a bad example, but you know what I mean). (2) No, it doesn't (surprisingly). I have screens with a hundred+ objects on it and executing even something that repeats through the fields and sets their text attributes is very fast. Rev is well-suited to do this kind of stuff, it seems. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
