I use a field on card and it includes text.

How can I compute the location (in pixel) of any word which in that field ??
In HyperCard there are commands like "word 3 of field 1" or "word 3 of
line 1 of field 1".
But how can I get the location in pixel of that "word 3" ??
Before that word they can be all kinds of characters that every kind has
it own width, even the font is declared, becuase the declaration gives you
the maximum width and hieght of character.
