Should've read this earlier. This sounds more like a layout thing. If you are going to find complete words to do some manipulation then I would suggest taking a look at the "getWordChars" method in the layout managers. This is used to gather together all strings in from different layout managers, eg. when there is a inline fo. At the moment it is meant for hyphenation. The exact implementation for this may change but that is the general idea. > Victor Mote --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
