I'm looking for a way to quickly turn words into graphic objects
programmatically.
If you have a field with the words
I am that I am
you can programmatically select each word and highlight it etc. but I
don't think you can get the actual pixel location of the rect that the

Hi Brahmanathaswami,
Here's an example.
// button script
on mouseUp
put the selectedRect of fld 1 into myRect
if myRect is not error then
import snapshot from rect myRect of this cd
put the long id of it into myImage
// do something with myImage here
See the formattedRect property and measureText function in the docs. Both
should help you get what you want.
³Last² refers to the object type that is highest in the hierarchy:
set the name of the last image to ³myImage
Also, the number of an object type will return the number of the highest
I would, perhaps predictably, do this in a much more pedestrian and
clunky fashion.
So: I set up a textField with no borders, and, probably a transparent
background.
then just have a button with this sort of script:
on mouseUp
import snapshot from fld myText
end mouseUp
Richmond.
The selectedLoc will give you the pixel location of the selection. Then you can
use the formattedwidth and formattedheight to calculate the rectangle for the
snapshot. When the snapshot is made, the variable it will contain the long
ID of the new image. So immediately after making the
Hi,
That's what I did in the solution I posted. I made it a long time ago
and now I don't remember why I didn't use the formattedRect. It would
probably be easier to use the formattedRect.

Text is already a kind of vector graphic.
So, this will turn words into images not graphic objects.

Thanks Scott:
With formattedRect this turned out to be ridiculously simple:
on MouseUp
repeat with x = 1 to the number of words of fld _Quote
put the formattedRect of word x of fld _Quote into
