RE: Strange Frame Clipboard Bug

["Dauphin, William M." <william.dauphin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter:

Shlomo corrected my misapprehension that A-tool text wasn't searchable.
Apparently it is now, and has been since FM 5.5. It *wasn't* (by design; not
a bug) when I first learned FM (Version 5.0), and I just haven't had
occasion to discover otherwise. Sorry if I steered the conversation down a
blind alley.

This is getting wierder!

In FM 7.1p577 on Mac, Edit > Find does find text in a text line.

I created a text line in the white space margin, and typed in some 
text, then copied to clipboard and pasted into the Find text box. The 
same text was in body text in the file, and also in a text line in an 
anchored frame in the main flow A. Found all three instances.

I haven't tried any of this on Windows FM of any release. Maybe this 
will be the one undeniable reason to revive FM on Macintosh?<G>
