Hello CarolineAs far as I know, there is no way to create such a paragraph format directly in Frame. The alternative in Frame is to put the text in a one-cell table. You can define the background colour for a table cell, and borders as desired, and save it as a reusable table format.You can semi-automate the process with a plugin called AutoText, which I think is free (working from increasingly dim memory here, as I don't use FM much these days).One caveat occurs to me, and that is that in FM, unlike Word, a table cell cannot span a page break, so long pieces of code could be problematic.It I were doing it, I would forgo the shading and just demarcate the code with appropriate white space and, as you say, a monospaced font such as Courier. Hope this helps. As I said, I'm working from memory so some of the details given above may be inaccurate! Roger

Hi, I am going to import a set of Word files to Frame. I am working on setting up a template in Frame which contains styles that look like the styles in Word (where this is feasible) The Word template put program code in a little grey box. i.e the text is courier etc. with a border around it, and pale grey fill. Can such a paragraph tag be made in FrameMaker? If so, how? I do not mind spending time setting this up, but after this I would want to use it easily using keyboard shortcuts (F9 etc) Thanks -- Caroline Tabach Technical/Marcom Writer e-mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to [email protected] Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to [email protected] _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to [email protected] Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to [email protected]
