Finding Top & Height of text in PowerPoint shape

Hi! everybody

I am using PPT XP (Office XP)
I am facing a problem in extracting the height and top of text in a textbox
I am using the the property

sTextRange.Runs(iRuns,1).BoundHeight And
sTextRange.Runs(iRuns,1).BoundTop (where iRuns is a incermental integer)

but this does not give me exact top & height rather it gives me the top &
height of the biggest character in the textbox.
e.g if i have the first character of a line with bigger font size to
emphasixe the top & height of all the characters is given as same as that of
the biggest character.
I need to extract it for each character.

Is there any way out wherein i can find the exact top & height of the
individual characters, even if i get the top it will work for me.

Any help & suggestions would be welcomed

I have posted this same question in office.developer.VBA & also
office.developer.automation forum as well since
i do not know cross-posting to various forums. Any inconvenience is
regretted

Hi,

I replied in the Office.Developer group but if you'd rather continue the
discussion here, that'd be fine too.
