Is it possible to replace words with imagesource based upon user input?

Hi William,

I would not use the imageSource property but would handle the html.
Why?
Because imageSource applies only to a "real entity" in a field and  
html allows to handle variables: much faster ;-)

on mouseUp
   constant kWords = "School,Pupil,Pencil" -- etc.
   constant kImages = "1001,1002,1003" -- corresponding IDs in the  
same order
   local tSentence,tFound
   ------
   ask "Write a sentence:" with "New sentence"
   if it = empty or it = "New sentence" then exit mouseUp
   put it into tSentence
   -----
   repeat with i = 1 to the number of items of kWords
     put wordOffset(item i of kWords, tSentence) into tFound
     if tFound <> 0 then
       replace item i of kWords with "<img src=" & item i of kImages  
& ">" in tSentence
     end if
   end repeat
   set the htmlText of fld "Text" to "<p>" & tSentence & "</p>"
end mouseUp

Note the compulsory parity between words and images IDs constants.
In addition, you might be interested in my "Encoded text picker"  
plugin that will allow you to test many html combinations and  
understand them easily.
See my website.
