- Also, how about some markers that follow the edges of an object when you grab
- it to move it. Like if you grab a text box, the box moves with the little hand,
- but you have no way of measuring where on the paper (via the rulers) the corners
- of the box is located.
-
- This is hard to explain. Like when you grab a box it would produce marks in
- the ruler area that align with the edges of the box. Get the idea?
- Take a look at PageMaker or FrameMaker and you'll see what I mean. I know
- those packages cost many times what pagestream cost, but that is really a basic
- feature for accurately placing graphics and boxes of text.
-
- Oh, like how when you are going to paste an object you get the markers... like
- that only while you move the object around the page without having to cut and
- paste.
-
- Did I just ramble or did anyone understand me?
