Style to apply border to text in print output

Post by Abigail Boyes »

I have a span.buttonname style that puts a border around text. When I write "Click OK" and apply the span.buttonname style to OK, OK appears in within a box, indicating to the user that it is a buttonname.

This works in my DotNet help output, but sadly the border property doesn't translate through to my Word output. I have also tried the outline property, but again no joy.

Is there any way I can achieve this in my print output?

Cheers,
Abi

Hi Abi

Word has problems with borders and background colours - if you check this forum for the steps people have gone through to get those tips, notes, and caustion boxes you see in manuals you'll know what I mean.

In my case I used a screenshot of the button with a conditional tag for screen only and the words 'OK Button', tagged for print only.
