Hi all,

How can I create an expression tool: gliss. in oblique? (not horizontal)

Thanks in advance

Do you want just text, no straight or squiggly line?

You can make a custom Smart Shape. In the designer window upper left, set the line width to zero. In the text section below, enter gliss. in the center full button. Double click and drag to create the shape and use the handles to adjust the angle.
