Thanks to all of the onlist and offlist replies. What I found pretty consistently is the inconsistency with which users out there have had success. An approach that one user mentioned offlist did not work for another offlist responder. The common thread seems to be "I am supposed to be able to get it to work this way and I can" or "I am supposed to get it to work this way and I can't."
What Bernard mentioned in his onlist post: " Note that at times you will apply one (like your own) and then still have to go and reset it as well. If I figure out the logic behind when and why I'll let people know." is the major issue for me. I have the catalogs open for paragraph and character and the panels docked in the order that I want them docked, and the catalogs just don't want to seem to stay open. I constantly have to reset my workspace and why this is an issue, I don't know. Two users offlist indicated that they had no problems with this and two indicated that they did. That is why I was referring to the all or nothing issue. I can keep my panels docked and iconized and open them when I need to get to the catalogs or I can keep hoping that my workspace with the open catalogs eventually decide to hang around. I DO have dual monitors and they are both widescreen (to deal with all the "caca" as Kelly stated - LOL!) but it's just more overhead than I like to deal with, but I know that I don't have a choice. Thanks all - these lists are invaluable and they really provide insight and support. TGIF!
