How to leave formatting in portal rows while editing just one portal row

[Will B.]

One thing that draws me to FMP is how esthetically pleasing one can make the layouts. So I must be missing something basic when it comes to portals. I have a portal with alternating color rows. Looks great when no row is selected but when a row is selected all the fields turn to the same color and good-bye attractive layout. I know how to make the fields uneditable and have the user do her editing in another set of fields outside of the portal, but that isn't desirable. My goal is for only the selected row to change colors but not all the rows. Is this possible?

Only one row of the portal should "highlight" when you select it. Can you post a sample, or a clone of the file?

Go to your Layouts menu --> Layout Setup --> Turn off show field frames.
