Hi Carol Adding to answers already received:
If you get Auto-Text from Silicon Prairie Software (www.siliconprairiesoftware.com), you can create the table once and store it on a reference page. Then a keystroke will insert it at the right place.

Elkins Sent: June 8, 2009 5:24 PM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: How to create a custom alert I'm looking for a way to create an alert message (Danger, Caution, etc.) that avoids having to make the whole thing a graphic. I have a manual with a zillion of these. They are rectangular with rounded corners; the width is constant and the height will vary according to message content. There is a red or yellow bar across the top containing the word DANGER or CAUTION (there is no symbol, just text). The area below that bar contains one of about 50 messages. They are all different. I would like to be able to add text to that area, while keeping the surrounding rectangular shape and its DANGER/CAUTION text constant. If it weren't for the rounded corners, I could do this easily with a two-celled table. Does anyone know of a plug-in or workaround to easily handle these kind of alert messages? I'm using Frame 7 on Win2K. Carol _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as Roger_Shuttleworth at tvworks.com.
