the char number of char 1 of word x

[Brian Yennie]

Here is a bit of a hack, if you want:

put numToChar(7) into marker
put marker into char 1 of word 4 of myText
put offset(marker, myText) into tNum

In other words, you replace the chunk with a special character, and  
then find the position of that marker. Of course, you would need to  
work on a copy of your string.
