The documentation on how to create a text table (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/TextLayout/Articles/TextTables.html) is fairly clear.

-rangeOfTextBlock:atIndex: might be your best bet. The hard part is finding exactly "where" you are interested in. If you are only interested in where a user has edited, a delegate method may get you there, otherwise, I don't know. You may need to keep meta-data about constructed tables.
