Karen, Thanks for your reply, but no, I am not asking about how to change the look of the dotted lines, because they don't show up on the final copy (at least I don't think they do).

FM - tags and text boxes
Hi Merry First, back your file up before you play with text frames on Master pages. You can get unexpected results. Also, remember that changing the text frame on a master page changes it for all pages that use that master page. You can change single body pages (in the same way as I describe below for master pages), but it's better to avoid doing so. If you do change a body page, that change is tied to the page number, *not* the content of the page, so you have to do it just before publication. So, on your master page, hold down the Ctrl key and click inside a box. That selects that text frame. Then you can drag it to move it, drag the handles to resize it, delete it, or use the menu option Format > Customise layout > Customise text frame to control it. To select multiple frames, Ctrl-click in each in turn. To deselect frames, click somewhere on the page outside the frame. You can also copy a selected frame/s, go to another master page, and paste the selected frame/s into the page. That can be a quick way to get consistency.

Re: FM - tags
OK, I have to ask the silly question. My assumption was that you wanted a comprehensive list of all formatting parameters of all tags in a file wrapped up in a neat package. On reading your follow-up, however, you seem to be asking how to view the parameters of an individual tag as you would using the paragraph designer tool. Format Paragraphs Designer or Ctrl+m So, to see the parameters of the tag you are in you press Ctrl+m and look at the tabs. Is this not what you're looking for? What other parameters are you wanting to see? Art On 7/10/06, Merry Foxworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks to several of you who replied to my question.

Re: FM - tags
What I really don't understand is why it is not at least possible to see what the formatting choices are for the tag you are IN!! You can see the properties in the Paragraph Designer. FrameMaker remembers the Paragraph Designer's last position. Perhaps it got moved to a position that is no longer visible on-screen. For example, changing your monitor to a lower resolution could cause the old position to now be in a place that is off-screen and invisible. To fix it, close FrameMaker and open maker.ini for editing. Look under [DialogLayout] for a Pformat entry. Change it to something like Pformat=50, 50 to reposition the Paragraph Designer to a spot you can see. Then, when you reload FrameMaker and your document, you will be able to use Control-m to open and see the Paragraph Designer again, and move it to where you want.

FM - tags
OK, I have to ask the silly question. My assumption was that you wanted a comprehensive list of all formatting parameters of all tags in a file wrapped up in a neat package. On reading your follow-up, however, you seem to be asking how to view the parameters of an individual tag as you would using the paragraph designer tool. Format > Paragraphs > Designer or Ctrl+m So, to see "the parameters of the tag you are in" you press Ctrl+m and look at the tabs. Is this not what you're looking for? What other parameters are you wanting to see?

FM - tags
> What I really don't understand is why it is not at > least possible to see what the formatting choices are > for the tag you are IN!! You can see the properties in the Paragraph Designer. FrameMaker remembers the Paragraph Designer's last position. Perhaps it got moved to a position that is no longer visible on-screen. For example, changing your monitor to a lower resolution could cause the old position to now be in a place that is off-screen and invisible. To fix it, close FrameMaker and open maker.ini for editing. Look under "[DialogLayout]" for a Pformat entry. Change it to something like "Pformat=50, 50" to reposition the Paragraph Designer to a spot you can see. Then, when you reload FrameMaker and your document, you will be able to use Control-m to open and see the Paragraph Designer again, and move it to where you want. Mike Wickham
FM - tags and text boxes
Again, thanks to several of you, especially those who told me about Ctrl - M. As you all can probably tell, I am new to FrameMaker. Another issue I have is the text boxes outlined by dotted lines. How does one change them? I would have thought it was possible when you switch the View to Master Pages but I don't see how. I found a tutorial online but I am not finding the answers I need in it. ???)) -:?:- ?.?? .))
