You can use Text Properties to do a lot. If you load library `facemenu+.el',
then you can use the Text Properties menu to do a lot more.

If you use both `facemenu+.el' and `highlight.el', then the features of
`highlight.el' are available from the Text Properties menu, submenu Highlight.

See http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/FaceMenuPlus.
