How to gain access to a label added to JTextPane

Question

I have a JTextPane that uses text and JLabels. I need to be able to gain access to both the text and the JLabels' text. I 've looked at both the structure and the veiw structure but haven't been able to solve this. Could someone give me a strategy.
Thanks

Camickr,
The following code represents the three methods that I have used to get the text imbedded within the label inserted in line in a JTextPane. If you run the code the first data that comes out is the Document dump. This shows that in the example there are three paragraphs. In each of the paragraphs is content and components. What I am trying to accomplish is to get the text from the JLabel. Or the name field from the dump. I have no clue how to get these.
The second approach was to go down the elelment structure and attempt to get the name. It appears that the name I am printing is the attribute name(default). This is not what I want. I am looking for the name that appears in the dump, what ever that is.
The third approach is to use the view structure. The view structure is not providing what I expect. I would have expected a separate view for the components and the other content. I should site that the view structure code borrows heavily from Kim Topley's Swing Advanced Programming.
I would really appreciate any help you can provide.
Regards,
Sandy
