set the textStyle to not bold

The proffered scripts all necessitate that the original text, likely from a 
field, be manHandled word by word.

This is because text in a variable does not retain the textStyle of the 
source. But don't I remember that there is a way, or a gadget, that holds the 
style along with the raw text? The only reason it might matter is speed; a 
lot of getting and setting goes on in the solutions offered. It might be worth 
it to put massive amounts of text in a variable and process there, 
returning the new styled text to the field in one put.

Seems like I saw this somewhere...
