Dick,

You can do this even more simply with 2 paragraph formats.  I've just post a 
sample FrameMaker document at my website to demonstrate how this is done.  The 
first paragraph controls the look/height of the dark colored bar.  The second 
paragraph controls the reversed text.

Best Regards

Brad
