Re: [Framers] Putting Text in a gray box? - Can it be a para tag?

Looks like you have a lot of options already. My suggestions, in order of ease of typesetting: 0. Be sure to setup 3 paragraph formats: "C1 - Code First", "CB - Code Body", and "CL - Code Last". [That's my general approach to format naming: keep the accelerator keys efficient: no

Re: [Framers] Putting Text in a gray box? - Can it be a para tag?

In FrameMaker, is there any way to create a block of code you can select by double- or triple-clicking? That seems far more useful to me than the appearance. If the box doesn't indicate that I'd just skip it. I certainly wouldn't wrap the code in a table since that can make extra work when

Re: [Framers] Putting Text in a gray box? - Can it be a para tag?

If your deliverable is a PDF and you embed the font in the file, there should be absolutely no problem on any platform. If your deliverable is something other than a PDF, it could be a whole different matter. -FR From: Framers

Re: [Framers] Putting Text in a gray box? - Can it be a para tag?

Another modern monospaced font that has become fairly popular as an alternative to variations on clunky old Courier is Consolas, which has been distributed with Windows OS since the days of Windows Vista. It has good differentiation of the various easily mistaken character pairs (1 and

Re: [Framers] Putting Text in a gray box? - Can it be a para tag?

My setup doesn't have any one-cell or one-page restrictions, and enables easy copy/paste of the code from the generated PDF. (I read the other replies, and actually am unclear as to whether a solution has already been provided. Sorry if this is redundant info.) I've used a combo of

Re: [Framers] Putting Text in a gray box? - Can it be a para tag?

The delights of formatting ... You can make a gray box by making a table format, with specific ruling and shading properties. Then insert a table with 1 cell, 1 row. The only down-side to this is that FrameMaker will only allow a cell to be 1 page long. You may also want to specify the table

Re: [Framers] Putting Text in a gray box? - Can it be a para tag?

This is as close as you can get with FrameMaker. You can make adjustments to eliminate the white areas and improve the spacing of the top and bottom rules, but you can't get a border on the left and right sides of the paragraph. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. r...@frameexpert.com

Re: [Framers] Putting Text in a gray box? - Can it be a para tag?

Hello CarolineAs far as I know, there is no way to create such a paragraph format directly in Frame. The alternative in Frame is to put the text in a one-cell table. You can define the background colour for a table cell, and borders as desired, and save it as a reusable table format.You can
