Re: Selecting graphic frame with other objects

[Peter Gold <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fred:

It's always been like this. Apparently the thinking is that a graphic frame
is a different class of object from graphic objects. Text frames are
considered to be graphic objects for the purpose of multiple selection and
other operations. Graphic frames are unto themselves.

Regards,

Peter Gold
