We recently upgraded from using Word 2007 for our documentation (yeah, I know...) to InDesign CS5!!!
In the transition of converting our documents and styles, we've run into some problems. In word, we would have a CAUTION box that had a yellow background and black border around it. It was not a text box. In Word, you could add rules around all sides of the text and color the background. I haven't found a way of doing this in InDesign (I know about Rule Above and Below).
This uniquely formatted text was a style we simply dropped in.
The only way I can seem to replicate it in InDesign is by making an Object Style and Paragraph Style and then have a separate text box. Is there a way to embed the text frame into another text frame, and have it move up and down depending on the text written above it or deleted from above it?
On a similar point of the text frame issue, we often indented it depending on the placement of the text in the document. Is there a way of preformatting a text frame to specific size?
If this isn't possible, it there a way to create a background color for just a specific paragraph style that uses the rules above and below?
Thanks,
M
