Guten tag Klaus,

Ah! OK !
I wrote that :
---------------------
on mouseUp
    local firstCharNum,firstWordLength,lastChar,lastCharNum,
    ----------
    put the number  of chars of word 1 of the selection into  
firstWordLength
    put word 2 of the selectedChunk into firstCharNum
    put firstCharNum + firstWordLength - 1 into lastCharNum
    set the textStyle of char firstCharNum to lastCharNum of fld 1 to  
"link"
end mouseUp

not really straightforward ;-)) but that works!

Danke sehr!
