Hi,

Is there a function that returns the pixel location of a particular char in a 
field?

I’m working in LC 6.1.3 to change a whole bunch of long one-line fields of text 
to short one-line fields.

As I go to LC 7, these fields are displaying text wider than before in OS X 
(but not Windows) and I need that text to continue to line up under images.

I have, what’s called in music theory, “roman numeral analysis" which is text. 
This lies under musical notation which are images.

The text is currently a series of 1-3 chars separated by many space characters 
in a long field. I’m trying to program a method to put those 1-3 chars in their 
own fields, each field now displaying text where it originally was.

I tried substituting tabs for the spaces, but it doesn’t consistently display 
the same as before.

The text must remain as text as it is searchable.

Any suggestions?
