Hi Doug, FYI: There's a free *FrameScript* script (FrameScript plugin required) that displays some information of different objects in a non-modal dialog: http://www.i-frame.itl.info/en/feature-description/free-scripts/metrics-palette/ (created 2003, still works in 2020 ...)

Currently I have to use separate information windows for anchor frames and object properties, for example. They are non-modal, so that's good, but I don't have the convenience of looking at the same location to view the data I'm interested in, since they are separate dialogs. What's worse is that both text frames and graphic frames use modal windows. I have to jump through some hoops to view their data, and because they are modal, I can't use ANY other part of Framemaker unless I close their Properties dialogs first. I'm using FM 2017 BTW. Computers are supposed to make our jobs easier. A single non-modal information dialog is one way to do so. --Doug _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to [email protected] Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to [email protected]
