Hi Lisa, You may be able to pull something off with sideheads and tables, but probably not as elegant as you once had. If you want separate text flows, you need to call in an API developer. Before you get aggravated about that, keep in mind that you are moving from a layout/format-rich environment to XML, which cares nothing about format. Often, Frame users get disgusted with Frame's XML capabilities, because they are accustomed to all the layout niceties of the interface, and think they should automatically get to have that in XML. But XML is by design simpler and format free. So, to get from format-rich to markup, you are going to have to jump through some hoops. Or simplify. You had mentioned you had planned to move to Vasont. What is your primary motivator for that, out of curiosity? Russ
