Question

Help needed to format a Warning and Caution background.

Hi Community,

(using FrameMaker 2019)

I would like some help in formatting a particular style of background for a WARNING and CAUTION .

I have created a style which I set up in the paragraph designer and saved in the catalog that works well, thats no problem. I used the 'Numbering' tab in the designer to automatically put in the 'WARNING' at the paragraph begining.

BUT, the detail I can't get is the bold line around the background, like in the sample attached. I've set up the background using a Pgf.Box with the right color but I really need that bold border. Anyone have any ideas if or how I can achieve this? Thank you. Mark.

Hi upwritenzl:

 

FrameMaker added paragraph shading to the ¶ catalog, but hasn't added a paragraph border option yet. The only way to get what you want right now is to put your warning and caution text in a single-cell table. At that point, the table could also handle the shading, if you like.

    OK, thank you. I'll give that a try and see how it works.
