The new tools we have provided expressly for this purpose (regardless of Ken's diatribe) are the new 3.0 features called [ListWords] and [CountWords]. We looked at the very specific feature requests for various related abilities, and generalized them into a tool that can be used for many more applications.1) Do something other than
in [BoldWords] 2) Break apart a field into constituent words 3) Break apart a multiline chunk of text into individual lines 4) Wrap HREF stuff around words 5) Break first name and last name from a single field into two fields 6) Grab MIME headers from HTML page returned from another siteAll of these can be accomplished with [ListWords] and some [ShowIf]s. Someone on the beta list already wrote a spell-checker!The point is we *have* been listening, and we've been rolling in the tools that solve problems like this.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
