Hi Dave,

One of the writers in the Windows Secrets newsletter recently compared
OO and LO to MS Office, and I have to agree with him when he implied the
LO web site is somewhat disorganized and confusing. Thus, this posting
that is probably an enhancement request, but I can't find anywhere else
to do such a thing.

I've used OO and LO for several years, and have found very little that I
did in Office that I can't do now.  One thing, though, is beyond the
nuisance level but short of being a game stopper.  I need the ability to
outline text within a paragraph.  I know a block of text can be
highlighted with a different background or foreground color, but I need
something that can actually be useful in a printed document.  Sometimes
underlining is insufficient, because it's not distinguishable from other
underlined text.

As an example of what I want, just envision a box around "what I want"
in this sentence.  Obviously, outlining a paragraph doesn't do the trick.

Anyway, that's what I'd like to see sometime -- or, if I'm missing how
to do it now, somebody please let me know!

You can write the text into a frame and anchor this frame 'as character'.
You can write the text into a text box and anchor this shape 'as character'.
You can overline the text in addition to underline.

You can make nice typography and give up emphasizing with lines.

Kind regards
Regina
