Greetings,

God, the documentation on FM sucks. All the song and dance for complicated things, not a breath on any of the "should be simple" things.

Okay, I finally figured out (no thanks to Help) how to put a background color in a text "frame" (heaven help you if you think "box"), but as the background goes apparently so does the "border." How very, very odd. Rather defeats the point of a border doesn't it?

I want to assume I am oblivious to something plain and simple, but fear the answer is "can't do that in FM". Coming from InDesign, this is a very weird interface.

Have searched forum to no avail. Help, please.

regards,

stevenjs
