RE: FrameMaker UI

["Gil Yaker" <GYaker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are a few features that would make frame a little more pleasant to
work with. As someone who has worked exclusively with MS Word and various
HTML tools for years before coming to frame, I always notice when certain
features are missing.

For me, it comes down to Frame not being designed primarily as a word
processor. But, I don't really have any gripes about this. How many of you
exclusively use another application to write the content and then use frame
to create a pdf or book? I think if that were the rule about how most users
work with frame, a lot of our gripes would be moot.

FWIW, the feature I miss most is the ability to look at two parts of the
same document in the same window.

oh yeah, and I miss Clippy

While I didn't mean to turn this into any bashing of FM, there are some
"features" that every major application on the Mac and most on Windows
supports. These are features which have been left out of FrameMaker. It
could be due to the UNIX heritage of FM, but regardless they bug me to no
end that a product that has been around as long as FrameMaker hasn't been
able to update itself.

Examples:

* Look and Feel.
* Drag and Drop.
* Find/Find Next.
