Hi Kurt, Just a thought - instead of looking for the coordinates to highlight the keyword, replace the keyword with the same keyword hyperlinked (this would require the text rendering as html), and link it to the glossary. Then when searching for another keyword, start with a clean copy of the text, and hyperlink the new keyword. Replacing all instances of the keyword with a hyperlink should be easy - just use split() and join() - and the hyperlink can either point to an actionscript command, or an html file with anchors.
