I would like to thank you all for sharing your opinions. Based on your conversation, I plan to cancel my order for FM 7 and create the document I am working on in Word. Yes, FM has some useful features, but they continue to ignore every user request made over the last 10 years. FM is clearly a dead product, being marketed by an arrogant company that only succeeds in selling licenses to support legacy work. This attitude is fully supported by fully brain-dead people who cannot imagine a user for multiple undo. This is the hall-mark of a fanatic - sticking to a clearly inferior product without justification. Don't get me wrong - Word has many short-comings, but it sounds as if FM7 is no different from FM5.1.1, the most recent copy I have. Further, based on these conversations, I cannot justify to my client the reason to spend gobs of money on such archaic and only moderately functional software. I only wish that some one would recognize the need for a powerful publishing tool and bring it to market.
