I know about the Edit button in Custom Ruling and Shading and that it allows editing of the width and "tone" of the rulings by choosing Edit Ruling Style. The Pen Patterns percentages of 3, 10, 30, etc. %, are not what is wanted, since these percentages just affect how gray the line is and not how "dashed" it is. I know that FrameMaker's screen representations of the tones look like broken lines, but they aren't. ["All is illusion"]. In the PDF the percentage just results in a lighter tone of gray.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone know if broken line rules are even possible?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Craig<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
