My client's project has long text fields, in which are a number of separate lines that, 
in the original Word files, had boxes around them. The "box" style in LiveCode 
is too tight around the text for their taste, so I've been creating graphic rectangles 
and positioning them by hand.

An issue has come up where wrapping is inconsistent on different systems 
running XP; when the wrapping changes, the positioning of the graphics over the 
text is wrong.

Is there a  way to position the graphics in relation to a given line in a field 
on the fly?

A combination of the selectedLoc and formattedHeight functions should allow you to derive a rect.
