Embarrasing simple question - identifying current style

[Alastair Dent]

Thanks all.

I found the Paragraph designer - but didn't notice the name in the bottom left! Non so blind as those who will not see.

Hi Alastair

Assuming Frame 10 and 11 are the same, I know of two ways.

The quick way: look at the bottom left corner of the screen. That includes the paragraph style name. There's a small gotcha: if you select multiple paragraphs, it only gives you info for the first one. If it's got an * next to the name, it means there's some override on the style.

The more reliable way: open up the paragraph designer and look there. I haven't got FM on this PC, but I think you get the paragraph designer via the View menu. (I've got the pod permanently open, so can't remember how to open it!)

Cheers
Rebecca

It is many, many years since I've used Framemaker.

We are now moving our documentation to Frame 11.

One very basic task eludes me; how do I tell what style has been assigned to the selected text (or the paragraph where I've placed the insertion cursor)?
