InDesign CS2 / Block of colour behind paragraphs of text

Seadreams

Hi,
Can anyone help with how I can put a varying thickness of line that follows the text behind and be able to change the text colour and see it? I have done this before and I thought it was with strikethrough but I can't seem to get it so that the text colour is above the line? Sorry, I hope this is clear. Here is an example of what I am after...

Underline the text and then adjust the line thickness and its location (character palette/underline options)

It is in dutch, but there is a helpful tutorial:

Thanks Mili. I just discovered that :-/... Cheers
