I use powerpoint 2003 for my college lectures. Naturally, if I want to
emphasize something I will often underline one ore more words, or sometimes I
will circle them. I thought it would be more emphatic if instead of a
standard underline, I could use an underline that looked like a calligraphic
brush stroke. I went to the MS Office Website for clip art, etc. but couldn't
find such a thing. Does it exist, and if so, how can I get it? Thank you.

Have you tried (while in Slide Show mode) to right-click, highlight "Pointer
Options", "Highlighter"?
 
What I have done it to either create them in a digital paint program:
Adobe PS or Paint Shop Pro, save as a .png fileand insert picture.
PSP reads .wfm files (which many of the clip art on MS is) with the vector
layers intact, which means you can take out/delete certain lines, swirls &
swooshes and only save the part you want to use.
Downside is you need to know how to work with vector layers.. ;o)
Try a search on MS Office Website for clip art for Brackets, curls,
decorations, dividers, flourishes & Swooshes. These will get you a nice
selection to take apart and get a calligraphy styled line.

Thanks very much. I don't own Adobe PS or PaintShop Pro. Maybe eventually,
I'll get it, but not for the forseeable future. But I'll keep that in mind.
As for using the MS clip art, I had looked there first, but I didn't think of
the terms you suggested. While I didn't find exactly what I was hoping to
find, still that was a great suggestion. You are clearly a pro, but still,
I'm curious, how did you know to use these terms? They didn't even occur to
me.

Thanks again,
Bob
