Customizing anchored frames in FM12 (unstructured)

[Christenson, Pat]

Here's a workaround for underlining the screen cap (if I understand the problem correctly):

Create a one-cell table.
Place the image & anchored frame in the cell.
Use Custom Ruling & Shading to set a custom ruling on the bottom border of the cell.
Use Table Designer to adjust the Bottom Cell Margin to move the bottom border closer or further from the frame.

place your anchored frame, use the graphics bar to set line fill and color
