Embarrasing simple question - identifying current style

[Alastair Dent]

It is many, many years since I've used Framemaker.

We are now moving our documentation to Frame 11.

One very basic task eludes me; how do I tell what style has been assigned to 
the selected text (or the paragraph where I've placed the insertion cursor)?

Look at the left end of the status bar at the bottom of your window. The 
Flow tag, Pagaragh tag, and Character tag (if used) appear in that 
order. (I have FM 10, but don't suppose that 11 would have changed.

The easiest way to see the applied paragraph tag is to select some part of the paragraph and look in the lowest left corner of your FM window.Note: In structured Fm, you'll likely see an element name (E:), not a para name

Or position your cursor in the word, phrase,  whatever and press Ctrl+m, whether structure or not. That will open the paragraph designer.

Thanks all.

I found the Paragraph designer - but didn't notice the name in the bottom left! 
Non so blind as those who will not see.

Hi Alastair

Assuming Frame 10 and 11 are the same, I know of two ways.

The quick way: look at the bottom left corner of the screen. That includes the 
paragraph style name. There's a small gotcha: if you select multiple 
paragraphs, it only gives you info for the first one. If it's got an * next to 
the name, it means there's some override on the style.

The more reliable way: open up the paragraph designer and look there. I haven't 
got FM on this PC, but I think you get the paragraph designer via the View 
menu. (I've got the pod permanently open, so can't remember how to open it!)

Cheers
Rebecca

Place the cursor, Click format, hover over the drop down options, and wait
a short moment.  A popup will show a check mark next to the Font, Size,
Style, Character, or Paragraph as you hover over them.  Or click format,
(Character or Paragraph), and the Designer, and the Designer panel will
come up with the style that is applied to the text at the cursor location.
