This would involve highly complex CSS2-type character and line spacing
that is not even available as an automatic feature in any software I have
seen as yet. I believe the lines are simply a graphical overlay and not an
actual image. It could be possible to have the lines fit the text far more
than having the text fit the lines. But, the lines would end up being
different for each text box on the page. This is a complex progamming task
that you have requested for automatically matching the text to the lines of
the page. Such formatting metrics are handled by the font files themselves
statically for each pitch and line height. It would produce varying results
based upon various video drivers and GUI font settings in any case.
I tried to get lines of text to match lines from a background image of ruled
paper in both Word, and on a webpage....
In Word it took about a hundred trips into the paragraph and character
kerning settings in Word. And in Frontpage an even LONGER time fiddling with
complex CSS style settings. In the end I had to use the Microsoft script
editor to get the webpage right, only to discover, that if I printed it, it
didn;t work on some printers, and if I changed the screen resolution or the
font size, it didn't work at all! and ... not worth it, unless you was
getting paid very much for this tiring and frustrating task.
However, I have a workaround for you. type in your text, then select
everything and underline it with the toolbar, you will have to use the
character code alt+0160 instead of the spacebar though to get an underline
for the whitespace in Onenote as it will not underline spaces. Then draw a
red line down the left side; it is fiddly, but works quit well if you really
need it .... *grins* I am assuming you would only go through all this
effort if you were going to print it out for something fancy? The idea
behind Onenote, is making notes, not creating presentations. I strongly
suggest you use Word, or Microsoft Publisher (excellent program) for such
eyecandy. Good luck !
