Fast method of setting textStyle

[Barry Levine]

I have a field on every card of a stack. The text in that field is 
different on each card. Some words I want to have a textStyle of link. 
There is no programmatic method of doing this as the text in each 
card's field is so different. However, I found a method of doing this 
quickly (more quickly than using the menus). I know I can't be the 
first to discover this but it's so easy that I felt I should post it 
for others.

Type the following into the message box:

set the textStyle of the mouseChunk to link

Don't press Enter or Return yet. With the cursor active in the msg box, 
move your mouse over the word (in the field) that needs to be a link, 
then press the Enter key. Keep clicking your mouse in the msg box, 
moving your mouse over the next word, and pressing Enter. Each time the 
word under the pointer will be transformed to a link

The mouseChunk returns the char or chars that make up the word sitting 
under the mouse pointer and leaves off the spaces or punctuation 
surrounding the word.

BTW - You can combine the textStyle params. In my case, I used:

set the textStyle of the mouseChunk to link, bold

Every day I am more impressed with how cool Rev is and how much power 
it gives me.

Bwah-hah-hah-hah-hah!
