<P><FONT size=2>Aha. In vertical Japanese, when you underline a sentence or word
in a book or on a page, your line goes to the side of the character(s), not
underneath it. That way it doesn't become part of the character. I don't know
that I recall seeing something printed that way to start with, but thats how
highlighting was done before the days of the fancy see-through highlighting
pens. Anyway, when you're writing columns, it would seem a line on the side
would be the natural way to "underline." (or do we need to call it
"sidelining"? haha)<BR><BR>Anyway, attached is a Word document. I tried
cutting and pasting the example into this post, but it didn't come out verticle,
as you can see below.</P>
