Default TEXT IN DOTTED LINES, IS IT POSSIBLE?

How can she stand to even look at bright pink? I had to do a global
change of someone's highlighting once because they used that color and
it hurt my eyes to have it on the screen. (Don't remember how, since
you can't Find/Replace highlight color.)

I've often wondered to what extent users actually use the Outline, Emboss,
Engrave, and Shadow effects for text (much less the various blinking effects
and marching ants and such*). But your suggestion suggests to me that adding
"broken" or "dotted" as a text effect would be quite useful.

*I do know at least one MVP who formats Normal style as bright pink with
marching ants so it is easy to tell when she has missed applying a specific
paragraph style to any text. g

To add to JoAnn's suggestion: Try using a simple font, like Arial, make
the letters 72 pts (or larger), and then change them from black to a light
color (for example, grey, pink, yellow, light blue). Your child could
trace
the letter just as easily as if *it was dotted.


You can also add the outline effect to the letters. Goto: Format Font
and
click "outline."
