A method worth viewing is ParagraphEditor>>selectWord. You might try
making a copy of that method, and then alter the copy so that it returns
an Interval in all the places where it currenlty selects a range of
characters.  You would also have to chane the way that method determines
the starting string index. Where #selectWord uses the startBlock, you
would use (as Ned said) the paragraph's #characterBlockAtPoint: method
to get the CharacterBlock, then ask for its #stringIndex.

(The ParagraphEditor can is accessable from the PluggableTextMorph by
calling "textMorph editor", the Paragraph is accessible from "textMorph
paragraph").
