FrameMaker 16.0.4.1062. As I understand it, with FrameMaker 2020 we were supposed to be able to have a uniform fill behind paragraph text AND with no white lines below. In this document I have added grey background colour in the font setting. I have added grey color in Advanced - Paragraph box and a grey line above and below, the paragraph. This should give me a uniform grey colour behind the entire text. Only I STILL get white lines below the paragraphs.

So... CAN this be made to work? Is it possible to have a uniform fill color behnd the text with no white lines?

    Yes. Use a negative value for spacing above paragraph (i.e., -4pt or -6pt).

    To adjust the paragraph space, you can combine the negative spacing for the above/below paragraph spacing with a reference page frame set to the fill color.
