Many thanks for your reply - that worked perfectly! The only thing that didn't work between storing the bounds and retrieving them was something mentioned in the other thread: the returned rect had to be modified using NSIntegralRect() for it to be retrieved again via -selectionForRect:.
However, I didn't need to retrieve it that way in the end anyway - your suggestion of converting the line rects to highlight markup annotations was the perfect solution. Thanks again!
