There may be such a word processor with that feature, but I haven't heard of it (but then I haven't been looking :-). A solution to your need may be to edit an existing font, making it the inverse of what it was originally was. Then of course you could use any word processor you preferred. Let's see. ResEdit can edit bit-map fonts, but there are better ones available. Fontographer (my memory is not clear here) can edit Postscript fonts. good luck! steve. steve kassarjian +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | All opinions are Eunichs: the operating | | local and undefined system for | | outside of unit. real men. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ stejk@caen.engin.umich.edu
