Making a button smaller and saving

Hello All,
Basically, I need to be able to have an EDITABLE document (in a
JEditorPane or JTextPane) with active hyperlinks. All I have read
seems to say that the HyperlinkListener only works for non-editable
documents. To get around this, I have been trying to imbed buttons
within a JTextPane that work like hyperlinks. Although I can do this
just fine, I am having trouble 1) making the button as small as one
letter of text 2) making the button be able to be copied along with
other text and 3) being able to save the document to a file.

Can somebody either tell me how to make a editor that allows for the
insertion of active hyperlinks, or how to resize buttons within a
JTextPane as well as how to make these imbedded buttons copyable (I
would also need a way to step through the document and recognize
wherever there is a button). Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the aborted reply. I started to reply but realized that my remarks
wouldn't have been very helpful so I tried to cancel the post and hit Send
by mistake.

Basically, all I was going to say was that I had never tried to work with
hyperlinks in an editable document - I have played with editable documents
and hyperlinks a bit but not both together - and wasn't sure of the best way
to handle them but that there must surely be a better approach than the one
you're describing. But I can't really suggest a better approach from my own
experience and it's quite possible there isn't one.

Perhaps the best thing you could do would be a Google search of the archives
of the comp.lang.java.* newsgroups; perhaps a search on "hyperlink
editable", or something like that, would produce some useful suggestions.

Otherwise, maybe someone here or on comp.lang.java.programmer or
comp.lang.java.gui could suggest something.
