border around a word?

[Syed Zaeem Hosain]

I don't have a way to make a complete box appear around the words,
but I can and do put a line above and below the words. This gets
me most of the functionality that I am looking---i.e., the kind of
unusual/special emphasis that you are striving for, I think!

To do this, I created a character format called "Important", but
this can be anything, of course! :). I set its default font to
have an underline (specifically, the "Numeric Underline") *and*
an "Overline". See the character designer for more information.

Applying this to the words in question, gives me *most* of the
equivalent of the MS Word capability: lines above and below the
words, but not the left and right side.
