Whenever someone does add the templates to the repository, could that someone please post an ANN to the list to let us know? THANKS!

Framers Template repository? Was: Re: Foxy stuff on master pages
If anyone has one or more templates demonstrating the type of Master pages/Reference pages discussed in the parent subject, if they're not copyrighted, and if you're authorized and willing to disseminate them to the group, would you please store a copy in the Framers' file archive? I would love to study how they're designed, and I suspect others would like to study them as well.

Framers Template repository? Was: Re: Foxy stuff on master pages
If anyone has one or more templates demonstrating the type of Master pages/Reference pages discussed in the parent subject, if they're not copyrighted, and if you're authorized and willing to disseminate them to the group, would you please store a copy in the Framers' file archive? I would love to study how they're designed, and I suspect others would like to study them as well.
