Adding to what Ann said, ALL text in frames is picked up by the Translators Workbench and can easily be translated as part of the body text flow. Free text winds up at the end of the file. Although it is translatable, it take more time and you will be charged for it becasue they have to look at it separately. My advice to anyone whose docs have even the remotest chance of being translated - use text frames for anything that will be translated, including callouts of course.
I did not see this mentioned so I also wanted to say something about shortcuts when creating callouts. Create a callout-sized text frame and tag the empty paragraph with your callout tag. Move the frame to the side of he page. Then copy and paste the empty frame wherever you need a callout. Edit the text in each callout. Much easier and faster than creating a new text frame and tagging the text every time. Hope this helps.

I have seen do done both ways and if you use Graphical text the layout person has to remember to see if the translated text is hidden under the edge of the graphic frame. If you use the Text Frames then the text wraps with in the frame. Z ****************************************************************** Ann Zdunczyk President a2z Publishing, Inc.

Doing this also enables us to insert cross-references for callouts, which adds similar navigation to graphic hotspots. ;-) Rene Stephenson Fred Ridder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Gillian Flato asked (in part):> > Does anyone know why I can't apply styles to them globally?

Callouts created with the drawing tools cannot be manipulated with named styles because they are not paragraphs in the text flow. They are lines of characters in a graphic frame which is entirely separate from the text flow even though it is surrounded by it. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Hotmail and Microsoft Office Outlook - together at last.
