Some strange Rev parsing problem?

I get "Chunk: can't find object" errors if I try:

set the textStyle of word 1 of the last line of field "chatField" to bold

But since you said yours worked I tried:

set the textStyle of word 1 of line 4 of field "chatField" to bold

and that did work.

So it seems there is a Rev parsing bug involving "the last line" in my first
attempt.

I guess the workaround is either to use htmlText like I ended up doing or
finding the number of lines first, as in:

put the number of lines of field "chatField" into nLines
set the textStyle of word 1 of line nLines of field "chatField" to bold
