Hello! Normally, I make action keys bold in statements like "Press Enter," or
"click OK." (Enter and OK would be bold.) However, one of my clients insists
that action keys should be shown within a box, so they look more like the
actual key.
I'm using Word 6 for Windows 95 and can't figure out how to create boxes
around text.
- I can't use a table because the text is part of a larger paragraph.
- I can't use Borders and Shading because that works for the whole component,
not just one word.
- I tried creating a Frame, which works fairly well, but text wrapping (even
when disbaled) still messes with the leading.
Thanks for any input,
Monica Milla
