This modal warning occurs, when using InDesign, if you try to specify text background shading or text framing in any of the following context:
•As the result of a macro.
•As part of a saras.
•From within the text attributes editor, except in the context of minicalendar dates framing and shading.
Text background shading and text framing attributes, which are text attributes in QuarkXPress, are paragraph attributes in InDesign, and any automated conversion of attributes from some text to a paragraph would most likely be nonsense.
If you ignore this message and specify text background shading or text framing in an InDesign script, then this will lead to the design-time message 185655.
