Paragraph Rules Improvements
I would be great if the Paragraph Rules menu received a couple of improvements:
1) Add a chain link for when you want both the Color and Gap Color to be the same. Likewise for the Tint and Gap Tint percentage.
2) This one is a bit difficult to explain, but one of the biggest annoyances with using Paragraph Rules to apply a RULE ON to text is that the rule expands/contracts in an undesired way if you change the size of a text box or if you add/delete something from the text. What should happen is that the rule should stay put on the text you've highlighted.
Right now there's an option to set a RULE to either the Text or Column. But there should be a 3rd option there called "Highlighted Text" so whatever Rule you apply, always stays put on the highlighted text.
What I would like, for example, is to hightlight the word "John", apply a Rule to it, and have that rule stay put regardless of how I resize the text box.
Look at this crude image that shows how the RULE changes size when I modify the size of the text box.
Thanks.

What you describe is an underline. Custom underlines are available and apply to selected characters. Paragraph Rules are a paragraph attribute and, by definition, apply to the entire paragraph.
