- As the originator of this thread, I'd like to clarify my query.
- I *want* to do this the wrong way! If a paragraph is using, say,
- a 12-point font, I'd like to define a character tag called AllCaps
- that changes lowercase letters to 10-point uppercase and leaves the
- uppercase letters at 12-point. I'd like it to be general enough
- to work with whatever the default paragraph font, size, etc., are.
-
- As an alternative, a new item could be added to the Capitalization
- dialog box. Either way, it seems like pretty advanced FrameMaker
- customization. I *know* that it would look better to have a special
- typeface.
-
- BTW, does anyone from Frame Technology Corp. read this newsgroup?
-
- Thanks again,
-
