You can use a borderless 1-celled table with shading; or you can insert a filled anchored frame with a text frame inside it; or you can draw a filled rectangle object, position it over the text and Send to Back (useful only after all other edits have been performed). For headings, you can put filled frames on a reference page to use as Frame Below in a special-purpose, otherwise-empty pgf with negative line spacing; follow that with the content paragraph. Here's full instructions by Tim Murray of TechKnowledgeCorp.com: Here?s a technique that uses a paragraph with a ?frame below? and another that?s ?forced? over the background. Note that as you play with the values, you?ll have to do Ctrl+l (lowercase L) quite a few times to refresh the screen. This example uses two tags: Bar and Reversed. The Bar tag establishes the background bar. It is set up as 0 below; ?4 line spacing, fixed; Frame Below = FilledBar, found on the Reference page. In this example, it is drawn 20 points high. The Reversed tag is the reversed text. Here, it is 14-point type; 12 points first and left indent; 17 above; 0 below; 14 line spacing, fixed. The space-below value is needed if the paragraph that follows the Reversed tag does not use any space above, since it (the following paragraph, that is) would end up bumping into the bottom of the FilledBar frame. Tag = Bar Tag = Reversed This technique works if the Heading1 text is only one line. If your paragraph is two lines, you must make a fatter FilledBar and attach that to the Bar paragraph tag. For your bar to look the same relative to the single line, you would need to: Make the bar 14 points fatter (the same value as the Reversed line spacing) Subtract 14 points from the Bar tag?s line spacing (?4 ? 14 = ?18, in this example) - Tim's method can be modified by setting the Bar tag Font to 2 pt with negative 12 Space Below, and the Reversed tag to negative 12 Space Above, non-Fixed Lined Spacing. Play around with these settings to see what effects you can achieve.
