[Framers] Putting Text in a gray box? - Can it be a para tag?

[Simon BUCH]

The delights of formatting ...

You can make a gray box by making a table format, with specific ruling 
and shading properties. Then insert a table with 1 cell, 1 row.
The only down-side to this is that FrameMaker will only allow a cell to 
be 1 page long.

You may also want to specify the table design to use a specific 
paragraph format for your mono-spaced Courier font, with the Paragraph 
Designer > Advanced > Word Spacing properties set with the minimum, 
maximum, and optimum spacing = 100% ; otherwise the spacing of the font 
may look bizarre at times.
