Hm, can't find it, neither where you said nor in the farm. But I do 
remember it, I looked at it some years ago, and I guess there will be no 
answer to my question.

What I miss is a property or a function that gives me the end 
coordinates of the path when the text was finished. Using X and Y only 
yields the start coordinates. DrawText or DrawRichText will paint the 
text starting with X and Y, but afterwards the program has no control 
about where the text in fact ends.

It could make life a lot easier to have these coordinates, because you 
could then simply add the next paragraph or decide to start the next page.

If there is no way how to find out, I would have the do the job myself, 
leaving DrawRichText aside. It would mean to build my own function.
