I have been told that callouts created in Frame do not appear when
generating on-line Help, and that they should be embedded in the
graphic. (I heard this from someone who uses Mif2Go to generate Help.)
It seems strange to me that this should be the case. What do the experts
say?

Another reason to use Text Frames rather than Graphical Text is if you have
you documents translated this works MUCH better. I have seen do done both
ways and if you use Graphical text
Susan,
Would you be willing to share the script with the list, or is it proprietary?
Thanks,

Adding to what Ann said, ALL text in frames is picked up by the
Translators Workbench and can easily be translated as part of the body
text flow. Free text winds up at the end of the file. Although it is
translatable

Are you using the text line tool? If so, it only lets you apply character
tags (yucky, I know)...I use the text frame tool instead so that I can apply
a paragraph tag...doesn't necessarily make the feature any less lame and
does help me apply paragraph tags (which is what I wanted to do).

Gillian Flato asked (in part):
Does anyone know why I can't apply styles to them globally? I have to
open up the character designer and apply a style to each word
individually.
Callouts created with the drawing tools cannot be manipulated with
named styles because they are not paragraphs
My solution for this is creating a paragraph tag (Callouts) and using the Text
Frame tool to draw a little text box for the callout. Doing this also enables
us to insert cross-references for callouts, which adds similar navigation to
graphic hotspots. ;-)

You can apply named Character formats to the content of text lines, I do
it all the time. You can select multiple text lines (control-click to
grab the first one, and control-shift click to add others to the
selection) and apply the same character tag to them all in one
operation. And if you

Yeah, geez, Ann, I wish you'd take a little more time and type your

Hello Gillian,
As per the previous postings, text frames are more desirable for callouts than
text lines in FrameMaker, because you can apply a character and/or paragraph
style and globally update all of your callouts throughout a document or book
via importing formats from a template.
