Here's a workaround for underlining the screen cap (if I understand the problem

Create a one-cell table.

Use Table Designer to adjust the Bottom Cell

Hi -
I hope this is a quick question. When you compare documents, does FrameMaker
compare the content of a text inset? I'm pretty sure the answer is no but I
can't find anything to confirm that.
Thanks in advance.

True but when you're using them for automation, it really doesn't matter. It's
only when you're the one doing all that keystroking that it's a pain. Which is
why I want to automate this (and other) processes.

No, 8200 doesn't work.
The weird thing is that the punctuation space appears in both the Character

Here's what I've done with all the pods.
Open the pod.
Drag it away from its current location so it becomes a free-floating pod.
Resize it.
Drag it into my dock.
Now when I access it, it opens from the dock at the size I set.
After I did this with all the pods, I saved my workspace so they
