Well, I wouldn't call them effortless, but I do call them rock-solid. Frame doesn't try to guess what you want, and Word's numbering system broke my 50 - 60 page documents at least twice a year, requiring a week's repair time. The day spent setting up my elaborate numbering system has saved me at least six weeks' work in the last five years.
