I don't like the underline function in text, because it creates too much black and text becomes unreadable.

But now I found a new way of using the underline option, Highlighting, just as you would with a regular marker.

Select a word and underline it with the button in your option bar. With the word still selected go to the little black triangle on the right of the option bar. And go to Underline Options.

A new menu is shown. Now you can play with the width, colour and offset of your line and it is possible to create a highlighted word or text.

Put these options in a Character Style and you can use it over and over again.

Sorry for the abscence on the blog but I was very busy. To compensate let's call next week 'The InDesign Workout with Fidel'.
