Subject: Visually Identifying Marker Tags
Hi Framers,

I've just been searching the Adobe FM forums and haven't had much luck
finding out if there's any way for FM to better identify marker tags of
varying types (like index, cross-reference, and custom Context Sensitive
Help ones) with a Character format that makes them stand out for easier
identification.

I'm starting from the premise that you've got the View > Text Symbols
turned on already. But, they just show you the marker "T's" in the same
font and colour as your content text. They also tend to run into
punctuation and paragraph marks, which obscure the marker tag.

I've only run across one method for making these markers "pop out"
visually: create custom Character formats and then manually apply them
to the marker types you desire using either a Find/Replace or after the
marker has been inserted.

I'm using FM9 p196 with the new TCS 2 and what I'd like to find out is
if anyone has discovered a better way to accomplish this or if Adobe has
somehow built this into the new version 9 of FM (and I just haven't
found out how to do it).

Thanks for any assistance,
