I would like to apply a gradient to characters and words only, not related to the textframe in which they are printed.

If I have one or a few words in a gradient designed, and due to a textedit the word flows to the other (or a previous) line, the gradient appears different than how I designed it.

At this time it is either only related to the textframe, or I'd have to convert the text to outlines.

Or, as a workaround I can take the word out, place it in a separate textframe, apply the gradient, and place it as a linked frame in the text. That is way to much work.

A separate item to make it possible to apply the gradient of choice just to any character (and word) would be very welcome.
