Hi. I am currently developing a tutorial program for the Medical Center here which involves scanning through fields of questions and answering questions. However, the student or user will be able to highlight a word or term which they want more information on. Once this word is highlighted, they can have a choice of searching for this same word in a medical dictionary,' list of published articles, syllabus, or some test items. All these things are individual stacks. So having said that, here are my 2 questions: 1). Is there a way with hypercard to have the user highlight a word (or have the word invert just by pointing to it and clicking) with the mouse? 2). Is there a way to use find or other search methods to make hypercard remeber the word we chose, and go and search for other occurences of the same word in other stacks (or files)?? Any help is most welcome! Miles
