SelectedChunk

[Mike Bonner]

Ok thats cool.
So if its NOT just an insertion point then
the number of words of char 1 to (word 2 of the selectedchunk) of field
"yourfield"
will give the number of words preceeding the selection?

So this whole thing could boil down to

on mouseUp
   if word 4 of the selectedchunk < word 2 of the selectedchunk then
      put the number of words of (char 1 to (word 4 of the selectedchunk) of
field 1)
   else
      put the number of words of (char 1 to (word 2 of the selectedchunk) of
field 1)
   end if
end mouseUp

I knew I was making my solution WAY too difficult. Thanks for this.
