FW: Adding reference images to paragraph styles

[Laura Fergusson]

Many many thanks to all who took the time to reply, especially Roger and Bethany who went far beyond the call of duty!

As I was wanting to apply new template styles to an existing template, I had to keep the new styles as closely based on the original as possible, to reduce the amount of post-editing required. So I couldn't go for the table option here.

I ended up creating two styles - one, a CautionAnchor with size 2pt and -12pt below the paragraph. The other was Caution - which had -30pt above the paragraph. The only post editing required is then to add in the CautionAnchor before each caution.

Hope that makes some sense.

Happy Laura :)

Hi fellow Framers

I wonder if you can help.

Following on from my previous mail about templates, I'm now trying to create some test ones in Framemaker 8 for PC.

I'm getting stuck on a particular style : Caution.

I've created a crude layout of how it should look:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
     Image      CAUTION  texthere texthere texthere texthere texthere texthere texthere texthere texthere texthere
                                              texthere texthere texthere texthere
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I want to have an image, taken from the reference pages, to indicate a caution. When I apply the Caution style to some text, I want the image to appear as well, so all I have to do is add the specific text. I'm pretty sure this can be done as I used templates years ago which had this for the note, caution and warning styles.

I do not have any side heads in my master pages and the rest of my styles go right to the left margin. How do I get the image to appear as part of the style? I can get the line above and below, and the rest of the style ok, but not this part. Help!

Thanks in advance
Laura

PS I have looked online for answers but can find none.
