Hi

I'm wondering about the possibility of getting the rect of a chunk of text in a field. I'm guessing I'd need to delve into MCParagraph etc again... I'm thinking of something like the reverse of getclickindex... The use case is I need to display a graphic in the rect of a word of a field.

Cheers

Monte

Hi Monte,

can't you use the formattedRect?

Code: Select all

put the formattedRect of word 5 of field 1

KInd regards
