On an unrelated note, I wonder why Frame
stubbornly refueses to (or maybe just does not
bother to) simplify their interface and make it
more user- or writer-friendly. Is it that the
very features - such as multiple undo's - that
make word so appealing in turn prove to be its
undoing when the doc length approaches 100 pages?
In other words, will we ever get something that
has frame's stability and word's ease of use in
one package either from MS or Adobe or
someonelse, or am I asking for too much?
