how to set the textStyle of word 1 of the selection?

[Peter Brigham MD]

Or this way:

on mouseup
    put the selectedchunk into selCh
    if the selectedtext = empty then exit mouseup
    put the long id of the selectedfield into fldRef
    put value(fldRef) into fldText
    put word 2 of selCh into startChar
    put the number of words of char 1 to startChar \
           of fldText into wordNbr
    set the textstyle of word wordNbr of \
           fldRef to "link"
end mouseup
