Boxed MText through Leader Command..any way to add thickness to box lines?

    Where I work, we put a box around all of our leader notes in on our
    road diagrams. Traditionally, we use PLINE to draw the box around the
    text, to give it some thickness, and then we link the leader to the
    middle of the box. However, I'd prefer to use the box provided
    through the "leader" option, except the only problem is that I can't
    seem to figure out if it's possible to set a thickness to the box
    lines so that it does it automatically when I use leader, and enter my
    mtext.

    Hope this isn't too confusing...

    Along that same note, is there a way to set the line thickness when
    using %%U when typing text I want underlined?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated....

    Unfortunatly i can't answer the first question, but as for the second.
    All you need to do is select the "text", which is underlined, And
    change the Lineweight either using the "Object Properties" tool bar,
    or right-clicking on the text and bringing up the properties menu that
    way.
    I hope that is of some help.
