good flowchart software to use with Frame

[Gillian Flato]

What do you mean by apply callouts? I just type them in and then group
them together with the graphic.

Hi, Gillian:

Did you ever try applying FM callouts - as text frames or text lines -  
to the imported graphics? This gives the option to use the best drawing 
tools for the purpose, and still permits translators to stay in FM.
