Access to text being edited

Hi all,

I've looked at the docs but haven't been able to find anything. Thought I'd ask the experts...

I'm building a menu to insert text into a String/Text attribute when inplace editing is taking place. I know I can insert text using setRichClip "whatever" & callStdItem_ clipPasteItem.

But, ideally I would like to check the context in which the text is being placed; e.g. is it at the beginning of a paragraphs, or whatever.

Problem:

I can't apparently get the value of the attribute as it is during editing. I can get obj."Attr", but that still contains the pre-editing code. 

I've tried getting the canvas to see whether anything can be done in that way, but without luck.

Is it possible? Can I get (and manipulate) the text are it is during inplace editing?

Thanks
