Cross-references and formats

[Lynn Gold]

Yes, my final delivery format is PDF.  If there are any tricks in Acrobat 
or in the conversion process for putting a blue box around a cross 
reference, that'd work.

Thanks,

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.

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