Hello Doug, You can use FrameMaker to do this, but the implementation is awful. The problem is that FrameMaker doesn't provide a GUI like Word does to insert symbols, so you have to do it manually. In addition, the checkbox and the numbered steps will have to be separate from one another. You will have to use an invisible table to obtain the format you want. Note these steps only work in Windows as far as I know.
With that said, here goes. 1. Use the character designer to create a new character format. Name the format Wingding. 2. In the Wingding format, specify the Family as Wingdings. Every other setting should be set as-is or left as default. 3. Create a generic paragraph style that has properties similar to Body. Call this paragraph style Checkmak. 4. In the Checkmark paragraph style, select the numbered tab. 5. If this is not already done so, select the Autonumber format check box. In the Character Format list, select the Wingding check mark that you created in the above steps. 6. Do NOT close the paragraph designer. 7. Minimize FrameMaker. 8. Select All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Maps. 9. In the Character Map window, there is a Font drop-down menu. From that drop-down menu, select Wingdings. 10. You will see several check boxes. Click one of the boxes you like. It will pop out. When that happens, press the select button. 11. You should see the character in the "Characters to Copy" field. Press the copy button. This means that the code for this character has been copied to your clipboard. This is a code that FrameMaker can read. 12. Maximize FrameMaker. 13. In the paragraph designer, paste the check box code into the Autonumber format field. After you have done that, you should have a bulleted paragraph style that creates a check mark next to each bullet point. Now, to acheive the layout you seek, create an invsible table that consists of two columns. Then, apply the Checkmark paragraph style to the first column and the numbered steps in the adjacent one. -- Sincerely, Joseph Lorenzini _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
