    Determing the selected text in code-behind

    Pre-sales question.  If this an appropriate forum for such.

    I've search your on-line forums and can't find an answer so I thought I would try to communicate via this mechanism.

    I have the trial editor installed, as always your stuff is easy to install but the purpose of my project is still eluding me.

    I need to publish a large document to the internet.  This is a 14,000 page document that users will be able to page through.  I need the users to provide comments about the document.  Here's my issue:  I need to know the location in the document they are in.  The page is easy.  Getting the location within the page?  Ouch.  My thought was to use your editor and have the user select a portion of text then press a button.  In the code-behind I would trap either the original text or the text location by start and end line.  I often do this in text boxes so I just assumed that I would do the same in an RTF editor.  I understand the issue of rendered HTML that displays screen text verses raw original HTML, but is there any way to accomplish what I'm looking for?
