Highlight instances of found text

[Mark Swindell]

Something like this ought to work:

ON mouseUp
     REPEAT WITH x = 1 to the number of words in field 1
         IF word x of field 1 is theFoundWord THEN
             set the backgroundcolor of  word x of field 1 to yellow
         END IF
     END repeat
END mouseUp

hth,
Mark
