    Rich Edit object: Find and Select starting from caret?

    Is there any way to use the "find and select" action in the Rich Edit without it starting from the beginning of the text? I'm comparing two strings, selecting text in one string based off the next word coming up in a different string. If the word is in the document more than once, "find and select" only pulls the first instance of the word. I can create an event that automatically does "find next" enough times, but as the strings get longer, that action takes too long to be worthwhile.

    In sum, is there a way to use "find and select" starting from a certain character in a string, rather than the beginning?

    Hi ratty,
    Why not using Find() expression from Special object on the raw text of Rich Edit text (retrieved through its expressions), then select the right portion of the text in Rich Edit object?
