Depends what you mean by WYSIWYG. My experience with FrameMaker leads
me to think that I could have made these changes even more quickly,
since the changes to type face, point size, indentation etc can be made
to all paragraphs with the same tag with one click of the mouse.
BTW I have no connection with Frame other than as a more than satisfied user.

Regards, Pete.
