  put wordoffset("Today",fld 1 ) into tOffW
  
  ## Calculate the num of characters from word 1 to the found word:
  put the num of chars of word 1 to tOffW of fld 1 into tCharOffset
  
  ## tCharOffSet is the number of the last character of the found word with WORDOFFSET
  ## Add 2 to start with the FIRST character of the next WORD
  add 2 to tCharOffSet
  ## or do NOT add 2 to also select the SPACE after the found word!
  
  ## Now you can start from this value to selecte any  number of characters AFTER the found word:
  select char tCharOffSet to tCharOffSet + 37 of fld 1
