Laurel,
Now, *that* would be techwriter's Nirvana, having marketing types
"correcting" technical documents, let alone engineers and such who
just *know* they can write! 8:)
As for InDesign, eventually I think it will get there but I agree it
isn't there yet for longer docs. I think it is clear, though, that the
InDesign code base will wind up being the replacement for Frame.
