If I'm understanding you correctly, then a transparent textbox will probably
do what you want (after inserting the textbox, right-click it and choose
Format - Textbox; in colors and lines, set transparency to 100 and turn off
the border, if you like; in layout, choose In front of text wrapping).
I'm having a hard time picturing it... good luck! Post back if you run into
problems with the textbox or if it doesn't quite do what you want.

I am writing a work of experimental ficiton. I want to convey the

of two characters talking over each other, although saying the same thing.
