Probably the best way is to go in and draw a line where you want it. You can then group the text box with the line so if you move the box, the line will move with it. If you edit the text, though, the line will not move with your 'over-bar' text.

insertion point
The cursor (also called the pointer) is the item on screen which marks the position of the mouse. When in a document the insertion point is where text will appear when you start to type on the keyboard it is usually a blinking vertical line. In a command line window it is a blinking underscore and also where input will appear (if allowed) In Microsoft Word there is no character that denotes the end of a line unless a hard line break has been set (Shift+Enter) the hard line break appears as an arrow that is bent down and to the left.
