Alternativly I also tried to work with lineOffset and setting the vScoll of the field. The lineOffset gives me the number of the found textline, but not the visible line number of a scrolling field with word wrap, which can be resized. In such a field the "effective" line number can vary, depending on the current size of the field. Is there anything such as the "effective lineOffset", or even better a direct approach to scroll to the found chunck? Probably I don't see the obvious. Tiemo

I have a long text field with a table of contents at the beginning and headlines for chapters and I would like to make the table of content clickable as hyperlinks, so that the user is forwarded to the wanted chapter in the same field. I can set the textstyle of each chapter in the table of content to "link" and handle the click in "on linkClicked pLink", no problem about that. The question is, how to handle the field scrolling to the wanted chapter headline after clicking on the hyperlink. When using "find whole pLink in the target", the find command finds first the chapter headline in the table of content and stops at the top. I could cheat this, by doubleing the find command, so that the second find command goes on searching and finds the real chapter headline and scrolls the field to the wanted chapter. But I think that there must be a more straight forward way to realize this kind of hyperlink.
