Windows Player Won't Play What Plays On Mac

I have a one field one card stack with three sentences of text. I
want to highlight each sentence (well ideally each word as it is read
but that I am leaving for right now) as it is read. What I have
written works fine on the Mac using the Player for Mac. It doesn't
play on the Windows player. In an earlier incarnation of this stack I
was just selecting the text to be read. That version read the text
aloud in Windows but it didn't select any of the text except the last
sentence. Now when I am trying to set the foregroundColor of the text
to be read the Windows player not only doesn't set the color, it
doesn't even read the text.
Is there a good reference for how to write for the Windows player,
i.e. what works and what doesn't?
on mouseUp
put fld "maintext" into theText
set the itemDelimiter to "."
repeat with k = 1 to the number of items in theText
put item k of theText into theSentence
set the foregroundColor of item k of fld "maintext" to blue
try
revspeak theSentence
catch theError
beep
end try
wait until revIsSpeaking() is false
set foregroundColor of item k of fld "maintext" to black
end repeat
set the itemDelimiter to ","
end mouseUp
