Hi Mal,

You don't need a script. Here's what you need:

1. A field with your target text (e.g. "Name")
2. A field validated by a value list that has your choices (e.g. Red and
Blue; we'll call it "select" for this example). Format this as Radio
Buttons.
3. Two calculation fields. In the first one, set red, your calc is
if(select="red",Name,""). In the second one, set blue, your calc is
if(select="blue",Name,"")
4. In layout mode, set the text colour of set red as red, and the text
colour of set blue as blue. Then, carefully lay set red on top of set blue
so that they are stacked.

Voila! When you click the radio button and set it to "red" the calculation
in set red will put your target text in the field formatted with red text,
and when you set the radio button to blue, the set blue calc will do the
same.

Hope this helps!
