Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, Jeshua is right, I don't believe you can get the bounds of text runs, just the overall art unfortunately. In fact, I just checked and there's nothing that returns any kind of *Rect object for the entire text engine.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it is possible to get bounds of individual words unless (perhaps) they are separate 'runs'.

You mean the bounds? If so, AIArtSuite::GetArtBounds() is what you want.
