Hello, Graham Basically i want to get the text caret position in Word 2011 active document window. I want to place a popup window on that location. Microsoft Word 2011 SDK is not available to public (i am not even sure if this SDK includes such a GetCaretPosition() function, most likely that the answer is No). Thus i was thinking that as long as Word 2011 is a cocoa application, its document is most likely something like a modified text field (not sure though) and i could get that position (at least, relatively to the main window's pos). (there's a built in Visual Basic function called "Get text selection position relatively to page", but that there is no way to determine that page's location) Would that be possible to achive using cocoa framework's means?
