Given a passage of text, I need to find every instance of certain
words within that text and draw a box around them.

All I can think of is to grab the text block and use a series of "replace" commands to replace each punctuation type with a space. That should still retain your word boundaries and relative character positions. After that, use regex to get the word boundaries. Presumably you won't have to box the punctuation.

Ugly, but might work.
