Replacing Text

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Warren,

The selectedChunk is a reference to particular characters in a field.  
Also, the selectedChunk of fld x isn't a reference the actual text in  
that field but rather a string containing that reference.

For example, if you tell Revolution to replace "xyz" with "abc" in  
"char 1 to 2 of field 1" it isn't going to work.

You might try this.

put the selectedText into mySelection
replace mySelection with "<b>" & mySelection & "</b>" in field x

or

put the selectedText into mySelection
put "<b>" & mySelection & "</b>" into the selectedChunk

I have tested this and both methods work.
