Customizing anchored frames in FM12 (unstructured)

[tom.beiswenger at emhartglass.com]

What about the anchored frame. Is there a way to draw a border around the 
frame?

Hi Tom,
I do not know any way to change the underlining parameters. 
I am not sure, but I guess this may not even be accessible via scripting 
as there are no plugins available for this purpose.
How about using the new "background color" feature or the "para box" 
feature instead of underlining? This may look well with a 10% black e.g.
Or you could use a "frame below pgf", but the resulting line would always 
have a fixed length (like with footnotes).

I am trying to make some design changes to our machine manuals. Currently, 
all graphics are in anchored frames that are placed within a special 
table. They look great in print, but tables don't scale well if you plan 
to also publish for use on a tablet. 

I have 2 problems. 

1) I would like to have a thin border around all graphic frames, but can't 
find anything within the FM help menus that tells me how to do this. 

2) I want to have the figure capture underlined; however, when I choose 
"underline" in the paragraph designer (not numeric), the line is too close 
to the descenders in words containing g, y, p, etc. Is there a way to 
adjust the position of the underline so that it is just below a 
character's descender?
