       Another good thought.

       And if you wish to make a box,
          then make an image where you can insert whatever inside should
work;
             this image can be placed in any document as any other image.

I'm sure it's not quite what you want, but in the Character/Font Effects
dialog, you can insert an overline and an underline on the highlighted
text. You just don't get the right and left side of the box.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Text Outlining


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!

Dave
