 Dave, you're makin' me blush. But I'd be lying if I didn't say that 
one of the things I truly love about FrameMaker is getting her to do 
some kind of tricky thing that the designers never contemplated. 
There used to be a guy on the Framers list a long time ago, in the 
days of Phong Co. Wim something or other was his name, I think, and 
he was always coming up with some clever way to do the unimaginable 
with FrameMaker. I got inspired by many of his crafty solutions. 
Don't know if he's still on the list or not.

 Actually, you're lucky. After David sent me the question, I bothered 
to "write it up". I've got a Frame document that explains it, and a 
couple of screen shots (tiffs) that show the body page, the reference 
page, and the para designer, so you can see what the elements are 
that make this work. I'll send Lisa the files and she can give it a 
whirl.
