FM 8 - Change Bars

[Alan Litchfield]

Hi Linda,

That only puts a short bar with the paragraph and does not extend the  
full length of the anchored frame. Which is the really annoying thing.

This is what I have suggested and seems to have got around the problem  
unless something better emerges:

I was reminded of that approach by Dave (thanks).

It is not the best but does the job.

Cheers
Alan
