This is great. Now we're getting references to the manual like Biblical quotes! :D I would concur with John, that the Story Editor has its uses. As long as you do not need WYSIWYG, it is very convenient for adding/editing material from the keyboard. I find navigating the frame in Edit Contents mode sluggish. Also, in SE, you can edit the text in one place for a whole set of linked frames. The main thing is to understand the limitations of each method. Greg
