I agree, and your point about mouse wheel sideways click is of interest, as this is in fact the first mouse I've had that has that feature (causing unbounded joy in Excel). I checked, though, and 'wheel left' and 'wheel right' in USBOverdrive are mapped to scroll left and scroll right, universally, so I doubt if it's that. I guess this is either a system bug or a very obscure one in FrameMaker 7 for Mac. Either way, I don't think I'm going to resolve it. It's especially embarrassing, as a client spotted some gibberish in a draft caused by this problem. It would have been picked up by later processes such as proofing, but it still caused a bit of a red face. As it only happens (when it does) when paging forward, it's all too easy to miss the accidental insertion of rubbish into the document. At least I can search for ']'s later and fish them out - it always inserts the ']' -- Steve
