==========================================================
In FM+SGML, they buttons aren't there for a reason, and there's no way to
get them back. The two catalogs are still accessible via the Format menu.
But, for structured documents done to an EDD that has complete format rules,
you often don't want authors to have access to the paragraph and character
catalogs or the paragraph and character designers, since the availability of
these capabilities would permit authors to apply abominable format overrides
to the formatting specified in the EDD. Denying authors these capabilities
can be done by customizing the Format menu to eliminate all the formatting
options you don't want authors to have. Since there's no way to customize
FM+SGML so as to remove those catalog buttons, they've been removed so it
becomes possible to remove access to these catalogs by customizing the
Format menu.
