- Oh no, PLEASE DON'T put some kind of frame system in Final Writer.
- I really don't care for the frame system in word processors. I've
- experience the nightmare of such a system in Lotus' WordPro and
- AmiPro word processors and have no desire to see my favored Amiga
- word processor go in this direction.

- Putting a frame system into a word processor is trying to graft
- DTP functionality onto type of program that wasn't really designed
- to support it.
-
- I LIKE the way Final Writer handles graphics, ie. frameless.
-
- I've always thought having 'dis-embodied' text (text that is not
- really part of the page) to be a stupid idea for a word processor.
- If you want that kind of text, get a DTP program.
