Haven't experimented much with this but we have a deadline barreling down, so figure best just to ask for the answer in advance to save time. Thanks to earlier posts, I understand font tags and using Visual Logic to concantenate them with strings. Is there a way, possibly with something like the Left String function, to allow producers to type things in the Editor (say a person's name) and apply different font tags based on the space? So they type FIRST LAST and VL returns {font1}FIRST {font2}LAST. Again, I can do string concantenation but I'm unsure about how to use the space character as a flag.

Hello Jeff,

you can use the "replace" block and set :

- Old value  to : space character

- New Value to : space character followed by {font2}

this should do the trick

Simple, elegant, effective. Many thanks! Saved me a load of time.

I just would like to make an addition to the suggestion of amignon, which is the best solution by the way.

If you have a double first name such as Kelly Ann Lee, you might encounter an issue.

A solution might be to use an unusual character instead of a space such as an underscore for example: eg Kelly Ann_Lee

Best regards,

Kenneth

I like this one so much. So simple that it's brilliant. A permanent addition to the tool box. Thank you Mignon
