[Framers] Can Frame 15 be used so I can eliminate ePublisher?

[Pat Christenson]

Hi Art -  I'm curious. How do you turn off most of the weirdness? And which weirdness (weirdnesses?) are you talking about?

Thanks.

Pat Christenson

Don't know what your settings are, but you can turn off most of the weirdness.
I haven't found that any of the keyboard shortcuts I've been using for years stopped working with 15.
Much more stable over all -- one of the writers on my team recently ran up a 114 (or thereabouts) page table. Single table. Works just like it should.
Ain't likely to happen with earlier versions...
