Cross-references and formats

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Lynn,

 

FrameMaker 10 allows you to put a background color behind text. All versions
allow you to apply an overline and underline to text (or a cross-reference).
There is no way to do a box with stock FrameMaker. If your deliverable is
PDF, you could convert the cross-reference links to box-style links in
Acrobat, although I am not sure it can be done globally. TimeSavers
(www.microtype.com) may provide a way to do this automatically when the PDF
is created.

 

This could be done with FrameScript, so if you are interested in this
approach, please contact me offlist. Thanks.

 

Rick

Is there a way to create a cross-reference (or character) format that puts a
colored box around the cross-reference? 

Thanks,
