set the textStyle to not bold

[Paul Foraker]

Riffing on Devin's:

repeat with i = 1 to the number of words in fld "thefield"
 get the textStyle of word i of fld "thefield"
 if it contains "bold" then
   replace "bold" with "plain" in it
   set the textStyle of word i of fld "thefield" to it
 end if
end repeat
