This may be over-kill, but it works. Script on the text field:
on selectionChanged --set variable for insertion point global insertPoint put word 2 of the selectedChunk into insertPoint end selectionChanged Script on Combo box: on menuPick pItemName global insertPoint switch pItemName end switch if character insertPoint of field "NewText" = space then -- check for relative location related to spaces put space & pItemName before character insertPoint of field "NewText" else put pItemName & space before character insertPoint of field "NewText" end if end menuPick Same script works in an Option Menu button.
