higher than flows naturally with the text.

Actually, a better option than using a fraction in Equation is to
use an "underscript" template. The underscript is in the second
row of palette buttons, third from the left, in a palette called
"Subscript and superscript templates". (This is the palette next
to the one with fractions.) Once this palette is open, you'll
notice the underscript template right in the middle -- second
column, third row. This template has the advantage of "noun" (or
whatever) being smaller than regular text, as it is in an
authentic Mad Libs tablet. To get the line inside the template,
first enter the underscript template into the "equation", then
with the insertion point inside the top half of the template,
enter an "underbar" template. Underbars and overbars are three
palettes to the right of subscripts & superscripts, immediately
to the right of the integrals palette. The underbar is in the
first column, second row.
Once this nested "underscript/underbar" template is in the
document, you can copy and paste it to other places in the
document to keep from constructing it every time.
