- This was experienced with FrameMaker 2.1 on Sun.
-
- I've discovered something pretty convenient (and possibly funny) in FrameMaker:
- if you select several characters, hold Control down and use the arrow keys, you
- will be able to move the selection in all four directions.
-
- I'm sure this can be helpful in drawings, etc. I guess it can mess things up as
- well if used stupidly...
-
- You can also use it to play tricks on your friends... If you write "fcatory"
- and artificially swap the a and the c, it will look like "factory", but the
- spelling checker will still complain about it. The cursor will also make
- some weird moves when passing over it (with the left or right arrow).
-
- Is this well known, used and documented? I don't think so...
-
- Eric

- P.S. This also works for objects, but it isn't that funny, is it?
