This works really well for me and it will handle multiple selected word on
different lines etc. I had a grc that was a dashed box:
on mouseUp
put the formattedRect of the selectedChunk into tRect
put "4" into tMargin
put item 1 of tRect - tMargin into item 1 of tRect
put item 3 of tRect + tMargin + 3 into item 3 of tRect
put item 4 of tRect + tMargin into item 4 of tRect
set the rect of graphic "Box" to tRect
end mouseUp
