Increasing Text Size in Fields

[Michael Kann]

Jim had a couple of questions about a stack he submitted to revonline. I didn't see an email address hanging around so I'll reply here. Maybe he'll see it.

I found Jim's stack here:

The question was about resizing the text in a fld. The faulty code changes both the textsize and the textheight of the fld. Just change the textsize, not the textheight. 

The following code works. No guardrails included.

on mouseUp
put the textSize of fld "a" into oldTextSize
put oldTextSize + 2 into newTextSize
set the textSize of fld "a"  to newTextSize
end mouseUp

Another question was about select all. It's built-in.

Select all is ctrl-a on Windows, I think cmd-a on Macs

Hope this helps.
