Finding exact physical location of selected text or cursor

[Marky Mark]

Hi all,

Just wondering if it is possible to find the physical location of selected
text (ie, in units from top and left of slide) within a textbox/autoshape?
I have a macro that formats my selected text in a special way, and I want it
to put a line (not underline, an actual line) under the text. But I can't
seem to get appropriate x,y coordinates for the line to put it in the right
place.

Thanks

Take look at this example: http://skp.mvps.org/ppt00041.htm#2. Once you know
the location of the cursor it is possible to arrive at the x/y co-ordinates
you require using the BoundHeight/BoundTop/BoundWidth/BoundLeft properties.
