"Using FrameMaker, is there a way to achieve a 'highlighter' effect?
By this I mean adding a colored background under several lines of text
as if you'd marked it with a highlighter. Word has a direct function
for this effect. In Frame you can add a colored object (such as a
rectangle) as a background, but that's not quite the same thing."

"Not with the way FM comes from the factory. There may be plugins, but
I don't know of any,"

"A google search for "" finds lots of clunky kludgy methods. This one
seems
the easiest and most practical:

(The Adobe forums agree that this isn't really possible; see
http://adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6bcac.)"

Well now, so there's something you can do easily in Word that you can't
do in FrameMaker. Interesting.
