Re: FrameMaker UI

["Rick Quatro" <frameexpert@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Drag and drop is more of an acquired taste. Once you get accustomed to using
it, it can be a very efficient way to work. Probably the best way to
implement it is like InDesign CS2: it is a preference setting that you can
turn on or off.

Let me add a UI complaint: how about a "Don't show this again" checkbox in
some of the warning dialog boxes. For example, open a FrameMaker document
and choose Special > Table of Contents. I don't want to see this dialog box
anymore, so there should be a way to suppress it.

that it has become second nature and I really enjoy it. I also agree that
what makes one person happy won't necessarily make everybody happy.
