Question

How do I show "extras" in Framemaker?

In an answer to a previous question, I saw a screen shot of a graphic with a blue box which could be dragged to a line of text to anchor the frame to the text... but when I have text symbols turned on and every other option I can find turned on, I only see the black box and black corner squares for the graphic frame. How do I get those blue boxes and all the goodies? I'm using FM 16.

    That was a purely stupid mistake on my part. Not my first, won't be my last. Sorry about that...

    David, only people not working at all can make no errors... You know and those who do not make errors are rewarded...

    IMHO the author presented a feature of InDesign, not of FrameMaker:

    - FM can not have coloured borders or coloured text symbols (although this is an old wish of me

    - The presented dialogue (Anchored Object Options) does not exist in FM.
