Hi Igor,

You can't set the unicodeText or htmlText of an
individual line ; they're 'all or nothing' properties
for the entire field.
However, this workaround might do the trick :

  put the htmlText of fld "source" into tSource
  put the htmltext of fld "target" into tTarget
  put tSource into line 2 of tTarget
  set the htmlText of fld "target" to tTarget

Most of the time, line i of the htmltext corresponds
to line i of the text ; if not, you'll have to do some
funny things with
  offset("<p>", tTarget)
  offset("</p>", tTarget)
to find out where line i of the text starts and ends
in the htmlText.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
