Thanks for the reply Jackie, however, the problem with highlighting the text
(using Metacard's highlighting) is that the instant I bring up another stack
as a modal which lets users determine wether they want to ignore the
misspelled word, change it, etc. the highlighting goes away since I'm
providing a blinking insertion point in the modal.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,  Ray
