This is actually the answer to all formatting questions. The implementation is left as an exercise to the reader :-) Seriously, What you probably want to do is to select a code fragment, go to the format menu, choose paragraph, and then the tab that says "background". Pick a background colour, and change anything else you want to and press OK. Select the text that you've prettied up then press F11 to bring up the stylist window, and the icon at the extreme right lets you "make a new style based on the selection". Give it a name like "code snippet". Then, the next time you pate in a code snippet, select it and click "code snippet" from the list of paragraph styles in the stylist window. -- Andrew Brown The email in the header does not work.
