Beginner help - how do I make script to change text formatting?

[Nishimark]

I've fiddled around with scripting and searched the web, but still can't make it work.

I want to change the color (from black to red) and formatting (from plain to bold) of text in the Name field of a found set if the name is "Mark". How do I do that? Thanks in advance.

This would be extremely easy with FM9's conditional formatting.

However, in your case you can either create a calc field or use Auto-Entry feature or calculated value (Uncheck - Do not replace... ).

The formula would be the same in either case.

Case ( name = "Mark"; TextStyleAdd ( TextColor ( name ; RGB ( 255 ; 0 ; 0 ) ); Bold ); Evaluate ( name ) )
