Red line in a mail merge

OK, just had another idea - I've merged the last line again in a text box placed behind the address and made the text colour white, but the underline colour red.




This gives me this:


red line 3.jpg


As it's based on the same text, the width will always be right (I added a coule of spaces to the start of the merge field).


My only problem now is that the line isn't thick enough.


Is there a way to stretch a font vertically? - I can't increase the point size as it will then no longer be the right width.

I think I just sussed it - variation on the above, use the text again, but make the background red as well as the text and you get:

Hopefully this will be of some use should anyone else get a similar issue - just posting here has helped me think this through and work it out. This is a great forum!
