Not sure if this would work. The purpose - or one of them - of reference frame graphics is to use in association with the 'Frame above' and 'Frame below' features in the Paragraph Designer. I can tell you from experience that if you use negative vertical leading to try to superimpose a reference frame graphic over a paragraph, as you would have to to frame, say, a heading, the text does not display correctly. The best I have ever managed was a line below and to the right of a [standard] one-word paragraph [it said 'INTRODUCTION'].

However, you want a frame around a specific word. I don't see a way of getting round having to resize the frame to fit the word each time. As I mentioned before, if it's just a small subset of words, SP's Autotext plug-in will give you an easy and cheap way of inserting the composite object.
