Creating Array - Auto Numeric

When solving a problem with a given data structure makes your head hurt, 
that may be an indication that your head's fine and the problem is with 
the data structure. :)

Can you tell us a bit more about your goal with this?

In your example output, if we look at this line:

    WordLocationA["Cut"][1][100,320]

What do these numbers signify?

And what will you be doing with this index once you have it?
