Simon, I totally agree and I already decided to go with graphics.
Although I don't really see the point you are making with respect to instructions I am not worried: I am not using these graphics to provide instructions but to draw readers attention to certain system states the device has to be in (RUN, PROGRAM, ALARM, etc.) **before** certain instructions can be executed. Nevertheless you got me wondering - maybe you can elaborate (maybe start another thread on this)? I mean: if [0] represents a random button graphic (not necessarily the zero key on your keypad I presume) why would the reader be tempted to press zero three times (he/she may be tempted to press the intended button three times, but that's what you want, isn't it?)

I am a stickler for simplicity in documents, and I've found that putting instructions in paragraphs can lead to confusion for some users. For example: I've seen some documents (where [0] is a button graphic) which have instructions like: To get back to the menu, Press [0] [0] [0]. ... and I've seen some trainees diligently type: 000. Hope that helps // Simon BUCH -----Original Message----- From: Dick Spierings [mailto:d.spieri...@fluidwell.com] Sent: 18 May 2010 10:36 To: Simon BUCH; framers@lists.frameusers.com Cc: Rick Quatro Subject: RE: Mogelijke spam (volgens TM Srv01 content scan): RE: reversed text style Hi Simon, The idea of installing a new typeface would be the most straight forward and simple solution if not that I too foresee printing problems. So after reading Rick's suggestion (which makes good sense: I didn't think of it!) I decided to rule that option out. Back to Art Campbell's suggestion: if you do use a single cell table with black background, how do you then keep it in line with the remainder of the text like you can with an anchored frame? (Tables have no "at insertion point" anchoring position, anchored frames do.) Note that I am talking about a single word somewhere in the paragraph, not an entire paragraph.
