Custom Selection

Hi there, I'm looking for a way of implementing my own selection style within MS Word 2003. Rahter than showing default  black selection, I'd like to show my own smart selection: dashed rectangle with the transparent painting.

I wonder is there any way to populate that sort of behavior

The main drawback with using default selection for me is auto-selection of nested child elements (I'm using Smart Document 'approach').

It looks like the only way to imp,ent it is to restrict default selection... Any ideas on how to do that

Thanks, Dmitry

    I think this is going to be very hard if not impossible to implement as there are no basic hooks into an API that you can do for this as Word has an owner drawn window for the Text Document and as such you would have to be a serious API Guru and as such think would be impossible as you would be fighting over something that Word would be expecting to work and as such is likely to crash Word Sad
