Not everyone may see multiple undo as essential as Philip as does, but it's hard to deny that it is a very useful feature in a page layout program. I have been using InDesign for the last few months, and I have found myself hitting Control+Z in succession to go back a few steps on many occassions. This is not an important feature for you, but I suspect it is in the *I didn't know what I was missing* category. Once you grow accustomed to it, you wonder how you lived without it. Multiple undo has been a standard feature in many mainstream applications for quite some time, so there is a certain expectation that an expensive, powerful program like FrameMaker will have it, especially among new or prospective users. Not everyone is impressed with tired arguments about the *outdated core code* or the fear of *feature bloat*, etc. -- Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585 659-8267 rick@frameexpert.com http://www.frameexpert.com
