-------------
If the problem occurs in vList and Valentina, I wonder if this is a Director issue.
Are you using a REPEAT loop? Maybe ... use a timer object with your own counter. 

Maybe ... write to the Valentina or vList. Then turn right around and read it, to be sure it is ok.
For heavy text with hyperlinks, we're thinking of moving from Director RTF to INM Impressario PDF.
