text colors

[Phil Davis]

Hi Liam,

Here's one way that works, using a button to make it happen. It uses the 
formattedText of the field to figure out which words are in which soft-wrapped 
lines. I'm sure there must be more elegant or robust ways to do it, but:

on mouseUp
   put the formattedText of fld "booking" into tText
   repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in tText
     if "reservation" is among the words of line x of tText then
       put (the number of words in line 1 to (x-1) of tText) + 1 into tStart
       put (the number of words in line 1 to x of tText) into tEnd
       set the textColor of word tStart to tEnd of fld "booking" to "red"
     end if
   end repeat
end mouseUp

Best -
Phil Davis
