[Framers] Who's in charge?

[Syed Zaeem Hosain]

Oh, bringing up the designer menus with control keys is perfectly fine!.

I meant it is just the "control-i" and "control-b" and "control-u" keys to format text that causes problems!

Hello Z...

Thanks for your warning about the Control-key functions. I assume though that it is still OK to access the paragraph and character designers with the Ctrl+D and the Ctrl+M keystrokes. Is that true or should I rely on the menus to open those designers?

Dennis...

Heartily, HEARTILY agreed!



In particular, the use of Control-key functions to add character formats (for italics and bolding, etc.) is a dangerous thing to do - whether in FrameMaker or Microsoft Word or elsewhere.



_Any_ later change to the paragraph format will remove all these "override uses" and result in a different emphasis to the text.
