I like Jaques solution too because it is unequivocal because of the hash.

But Tiemo allows the user to change the width of the field, see his
crossposting to the forum

That is where Jaque's solution can fail because of wrapping.

This code is a small change to Jacques solution that should not fail since
words don't wrap

------------------------------------------------
on linkClicked pLink
   put "#" before pLink
   put the formattedText of me into tFormatData 
   
   put lineOffset(pLink,the text of me) into tFound
   
   -- check against the number of words in formattedText later
   -- they don't change compared to regular text
   put the number of words of line 1 to  tFound-1 of me +1 into tNoOfWords
   
   -- now get the number of lines to the first word of the found line
   put the number of lines of word 1 to tNoOfWords of tFormatData into
tApparentLines
   put (tApparentLines - 1) * the effective textHeight of me into tvScroll
   set the vScroll of me to tvScroll
end linkClicked
-------------------------------------------------

Kind regards
Bernd
