Beatrice & Richard et al,

I did as you described and created my own "grey20" and it works perfectly. Wow!

Hi,
I used such type of text on master pages a long time ago and as far as I can 
remember, I inserted a text box, then the text inside. If you don't find the 
grey colour you need in the Character Designer > Color options, you can create 
your own grey colour using the View > Color > Definitions menu. Then the created 
colour will appear in the list of colours in your Character Designer.
Hope this helps.

Subject: FM needs grey text

Folks,

I'm trying to place the word "Draft" in light grey and rotated 45 degrees on my 
FrameMaker version 8.0 master pages.

I tried both using text inside a text box and rotated and also tried creating 
rotated text from the graphics toolbox.

But can't find where to modify "black" to any shade of grey; did find a tip to 
set it as yellow for output as grey on black-and-white printers, but we now have 

ONLY a color printer.

I did this once before but it was many years ago and have lost track of how. Any 

ideas?
