Try this, perhaps? on mouseup put 1 + (word 4 of the selectedchunk) into saveMark -- this will be the first character after the selection put length(char saveMark to -1 of fld "myUnicodeFld") into savedLength put (-1)*savedlength into savedLength set the useUnicode to true set the unicodeText of the selectedText to numToChar(2340) select before char savedLength of fld "myUnicodeFld" end mouseup -- Peter Peter M.
