Before anyone jumps down my throat, I have already tried the Microsoft
newsgroups and sites, without success.
Hi,
We're currently creating in-house templates in both Microsoft Word and
FrameMaker. In FrameMaker, I can place an overline over a selected piece
of text.
Could anyone tell me how to apply an overline to a selected piece of
text in Microsoft Word?
The Borders and Shading dialog box implies that this is possible, but
when I try, it doesn't seem to allow it.
I want to place the line over one word in the paragraph, rather than
over the entire paragraph. For example, say I want to insert a line over
the word "Product" in the phrase "Product version 1.0".
I select the word "Product", choose Format - Borders and Shading, choose
Text in the Apply to box and then click just above "Product" in the
diagram. But Word inserts a border, rather than an overline.I've tried
changing the setting on the left, i.e. choosing None, Box, Custom, etc,
but this doesn't make a difference.
