If you use an alternate text editor, you apply formatting by entering format codes. You can underline text, add a line over text, and create stacked text. You can also change color, font, and text height. You can change the spaces between text characters or increase the width of the characters themselves.

{\A0;Baseline: 1 \S1/2;}\P
{\A1;Center: 1 \S1/2;}\P
