Re: [Framers] FrameMaker tab bug workaround
I forgot to mention that I have 2015 (version 13.0.5.547). It's possible this bug is fixed in the current version. Below it says that it is fixed in version 14.0.0.361.

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker tab bug workaround
Very cool insight, Shmuel! This sounds like it took persistence and practice to get it right. It reminds me about how it's important to be fast enough when it matters. When I was little, I believed that people in magazine photographs relaxed their expressions when the pages were closed, and quickly posed again when the pages were opened. I was never fast enough to catch them at it, though.
