I like this a lot. Consider this a "me-too" msg. Though, I think this comes under the general category of "Fix all those niggly little WPS problems..." But in general, it would be nice if it were easier to open objects w/different settings instead of having to go into the notebook each time. For example, I like the feature of being able to open the desktop as a window (complete with a frame). Wish there were a direct way (i.e., w/o human intervention) to do it, other than by having to write a REXX script. ************************************************************************ "The rich are different from you and me." - Fitzgerald - "Yes.
