positioning graphics in relation to a line in a text field

[Michael Doub]

Thanks Mark and Tom for your advice.

The original question was how to create a graphic around some selected text.  I think that has be answered.   

I diverted the thread a bit to almost the opposite.  I want to have two graphics (one at the beginning and one at the end of the selected text) control the selection text.  I see how to position the graphics at the edge of the text as the starting point.   And I know how to get the location of the graphics.  What I don't know is how to make the selection of the text be changed based on  a new rect created from the graphics locations.
