Highlight text word by word - grammar exercises

[Boba Fonts]

I'm working on an educational grammar CD-ROM. I need an easy method to highlight portions of text.
Let's say we have a quite long text in a String object and the exercise requires the user to highlight certain words in green, others in blue and the rest must remain non highlighted.
I hope I can avoid to split the string in MANY small one-word strings and check for click on each one. Maybe the String object isn't right for that, maybe Text Blitter or something else?
The result must be similar to a basic Word processor text formatting system.
The best effect would be to emulate Word's background color highlighting. Is that possible?

You might try Rich Edit Object.

It's one of those extensions I've installed but never tested. It's a great tool, thanks. Time to play with it and see if I can figure out how to format clicked text.

Boba Fonts. Just to let you know, the Rich Edit Object is a native object in MMF.

LOL, that's just because installing *every* extension one forgets which were actually installed and which were built-in :grin:
