Hello Mr. Karandikar, FrameMaker has very many keyboard shortcuts, so a lot of the functionality can be done via pressing keyboard buttons. To get a list of all the shortcuts a FrameMaker instance knows, you can use the freeware plugin found under <http://www.leximation.com/tools/info/listshortcuts.php> The result of running this plugin is a FM document that lists the shortcuts under a kind of keyword. These keywords can be somewhat cryptic, but most of the time, one can guess which function is hinted at. Together with a keyboard macro recorder that records keystrokes, you can have a more or less cheap way to automate a lot of stuff (everything that can be done via shortcuts). One good keyboard macro recorder is RemoteKeys (http://www.freewarehits.de/RemoteKeys.htm). Do not underestimate the power of keyboard macros. I myself used this technique to "automagically" change tables in a large customer document (add rows, delete others, assign formats a.s.o). Hope this helps, Franz.
