I know this had been covered before, but I cannot for the life of me remember the exact details.

I want the heading to stick up at the top of the text frame, using a paragraph rule to create the "tab" effect like a recipe card or index card.

You can imagine if I include index or tab in my search I don't get what I am looking for.

So what do I do to sit the heading on the top of the frame?

Thank you.

If you set the Offset in a frame's Baseline Options to Leading with a minimum offset of zero, and then set the leading for your one-line paragraph to zero, it will sit on top of the frame.  Is this what you want?  Or just a label for the frame along the lines of Rorohiko's FrameReporter?

You want to use a Paragraph Rule in the Paragraph Style to set the background colour.

Yes it's the first line (heading) that I want to sit on top of the frame, the para rule will give it the coloured background
