Hi.
This is an ongoing thread on the forums. Your query is a bit more straightforward, but still bears discussion. Think about a field 2 with lots of lines in it, one of which is "ccc". In a button script: on mouseUp set the textheight of fld 2 to 14 set the scroll of fld 2 to 10000 find "ccc" in fld 2 set the scroll of fld 2 to word 2 of the foundLine * the textheight of fld 2 - the textheight of fld 2 end mouseUp The issues revolve around why setting the scroll to the bottom is needed, and in the other case, complications arise when each line has a different textHeight. You should monitor that thread. Anyway, this works.

How does one find the amount to set the vScroll if the word has been wrapped? I am trying to set the scroll so the word is positioned as the first visible line.
