[Tugindia] a query on usage of "\colorbox"

[Jagadeesh Bhaskar]

when i used the command
        "\colorbox{color}{text}"

i found that, the colored box covered only the length of the text.

i actually wanted the whole of the line: from the left end of the page to 
the rightmost end to be filled with the color over the text.

can i specify width and height for a \colorbox?

otherwise how can i acheive that??


thanks for replies...
Jagadeesh..
