I need to highlight some text at footnote with some colour (I need to highlight it by changing the background colour of that particular text and not by by changing the font colour )but can't find any such option available(may be due to the version I am using). Is there any way to do it by coding?

Tom,

This didn't help. Web focus removed the content by itself.

Don't know what that means. You are on 5.2.5, so, that release has long left my memory. Instead of PDF, try it in HTML.

At any rate, that is the concept...

I even think that 525 is not supported anymore.
What I do know is that if you go to pdf then the footing line will have just that one color. You can't color parts of footer (or header) lines. So in your example, if you do 
FOOTING
"<FOOT1"
"<FOOT2"
"<FOOT3"
  ...
TYPE=FOOTING,
     LINE=2,
     COLOR='BLACK',
     BACKCOLOR='RED',
$

then the second line will be colored red.
If this is not what you nedd, then please let us know what you do need.

Hope this helps....

Gerard,

Did you try the code, because, in 7.6.9, it works fine in PDF?
I've been doing that since 7.6.X, especially for text letters being mailed out from university's...FYI

No, I ran this on a 765 release.
I did know that there was a NFR for being able to color parts of a foot or head, but never even thought of it already being solved in 769. I'll try in 769 later and see if I also get the parts colored.
But since the person who asked is still on the old museum piece of 525, it will never work there like it does in 769.

I ran Tom's code on 7.6.5 and it worked just fine. I have a 7.6.6 reporting server.

I tried it on 7.6.4. It does not work there. So the magic release is either 7.6.5 or 7.6.6

That sounds correct. I was doing inline HTML to email addresses via RC prior, so, that seems right.

Gamp's suggestion should work with 5. Can't believe organizations haven't upgraded to 7 (2004, I think).

GamP's suggestion does work on 5.2.4, but the background is changed for the whole line, not just the text.

I don't ever throw away old versions, always good for something...

Hi,

Yes, line colouring is working.

But actually I was looking to colour some words in the middle of the line, to highlight it. With this discussion, it seams it will not work for 525.

hmmm ... bad luck!!!!!

You CAN color words in the middle of a line, but only in HTML format. If you're wanting PDF output, you'll only get what you need by upgrading to a recent version.
