Mostly it's just for convenience. My templates are stable, so I don't change or create formats often, but I have a three-monitor setup, so I like to have the main FrameMaker window open on one monitor, holding a two-page spread. The palettes are open on an adjacent monitor, where they never overlap the text, and are always ready when I need them-- without need for opening or positioning. I've been using the Leximation RestoreWindows plugin to open the palettes automatically when a document opens. Mike Wickham
