TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Here was the somewhat difficult question I asked (I can't remember how many
I have asked today. I know I had one about pair kern. I admit - freely -
that it is poorly worded. Anyway, I'll look into a Frame user's group when I
have a little time):
One more question, please.
It is my colleague's document that I am re-creating in Frame.
In his Word document, he has created Auto Text he calls "dialog box
capture." He is much stronger than I in Word. Anyway, this Auto Text is a
defined table that you can insert into your document. The table has a screen
shot in it that you can replace with whatever one you need.
What might follow from the email sent to me on the subject of Frame borders
is that I can create a style in Frame in the paragraph designer and set the
parameters of where I want that style to begin (left indent, and so forth).
Could I then create a table resembling the one my colleague created in Word
and use the advanced tab to have it display when I select the style I have
named it, such as "Dialog Box Capture?"
The one my colleague created in Word includes Table numbering.
