repeat loop and formatting question

[Mark Smith]

How about

put fld 1 into tText
replace "ck" with "<font><b>ck</b></font>" in tText
replace "ch" with "<font><b>ch</b></font>" in tText
replace "oa" with "<font><u>ch</u></font>" in tText
replace "oo" with "<font><u>oo</u></font>" in tText
...
set the htmltext of fld 1 to tText


Best,

Mark
