Hi, Baruch, I was aware of the character format capability (I use them in numbering for headings and text in the sidehead), but not the ability to select them in equations. My experience with the equations editor is extremely low - no reasons to use them till now! :)
I will try all this out as well. Thanks again, Z -----Original Message----- From: Baruch Brodersen [mailto:bar...@technitext.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 12:00 PM To: Syed Zaeem Hosain (syed.hos...@aeris.net); framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Horizontal Range Braces Z, You can increase the point size, and thus the proportional thickness of the brace, in Special > Equations > Equations > Equations Sizes (or Esc, p, e). For horizontal braces modify Level 1 equation sizes. FrameMaker Help also gives this valuable advice: To change the character format for functions, numbers, strings, and variables: 1. Create the character format you want (see "The Paragraph and Character Designers" on page 94). 2. On the Equations palette, choose Equation Fonts from the Equations pop-up menu. 3. Choose the character format from the Functions, Numbers, Strings, or Variables pop-up menu, and click Set. The pop-up menus contain the formats stored in the Character Catalog.

But ... a comment and questions that might help me do yet better: 1. I used the Color > Definition > ... to make a new color - it is not under the Special > ... (you did note that you had not done this recently, so I am merely recording this here for other people :) ). 2. The brace length appears to have stepped settings - it doesn't increase linearly with the text as nicely as I might like (to get a more control on the size). 3. I tried to change the font size, and that helped a bit, but the brace becomes pretty thin and faint then. 4. Applying a bold to the text (while the delimiter brace is also selected) does not change the underbrace or overbrace at all though (as far as I can tell). Any recommendation on whether this brace can be changed to look a bit "heavier" or more curved, etc? It seems to be quite independent of the font ... Thanks much again!
