Well, if possible, what I am looking for is something like this:

Text Text Text

<----------------------------- Special MM

Field ---------------------------->

Continue text...

I would like the "Special MM Field" to not allow anything on the same line

as it, and to paint the style background all the way across and basically

act like a horizontal line does. I didn't know if there was a quick and

easy way to get this behavior. Thanks for the reply!
