htmlText question

[Kay C Lan]

New stack, 1 fleld, in the msg box:

set the text of word 1 of line 1 of fld 1 to "<b>"
set the htmlText of word 2 to -1 of line 1 of fld 1 to "<b>This is bold
text</b>"
put the htmlText of fld 1 into msg

The output I get is:

<p><b><b> This is bold text</b></p>

So you can either selectively set the text or the htmlText or you can use
the &xx; codes and set just the htmlText.

As always, a couple of ways to skin the cat.
