Dear Framers -
For our on-site typesetting project in the Inland Empire we need help from a
really good, experienced book typesetter. Ideally, someone who could jump in
a plane and come out here on a very immediate basis.
So if you are at all interested or know of anyone that fits these
Hi Scott,
You need to edit the ruling styles from the Custom Ruling and Shading menu
(TableCustom Ruling and Shading).
Choose the rule you wish to modify and click the Edit Ruling Style button.
You can edit all the line parameters, including color, from there. You can
even create new rule styles.
Duh, there it was right in front of me. I have looked for that it seems
since day one.

Hello Framers,
I recently upgraded to FM 7.2b144 (I'm running Windows XP). Yesterday I was
working in a document that is a single table. In using the Find feature to
locate various text strings, sometimes FM would highlight the exact text,
and sometimes it would stop in a cell above the cell

Art, this is great information.
I have a question.
Where do I set the book title prefix for the index entries? In the index
marker itself inside the books, or would I set it on the reference page
so when the index is generated, we end up with book_name - page#

Unless you're already using it for something, use the Volume Number

Is there a way to change the default black colors for table rules and

four-color job. I have looked high and low and haven't discovered anything I
can use to do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Scott,
You need to edit the ruling styles from the "Custom Ruling and Shading" menu
(Table>Custom Ruling and Shading).
Choose the rule you wish to modify and click the "Edit Ruling Style" button.
You can edit all the line parameters, including color, from there. You can
even create new rule
The color of the ruling is specified as part of the definition for
each named ruling style. Go to the Custom Ruling and Shading
dialog (in any table) and use the Edit Ruling Style button to
define the ruling styles as you want them, and they will apply to
all tables in the document.
