Hi!
First of all it's problem when you sometimes need to send your writer
documents to ms word user with .doc exension. I think every user of
openoffice.org writer sometimes should do it. Second, also related to
other formats, is saving to html. Placement of pictures also will be
changed in html if frames are used instead of tables. And third, may be
personal, I don't understand why to introduce text formatting element
which don't have any functions, which can't be easily replaced by other
commonly used formatting elements.
But it is really interesting for me, from were comes graphics in frames
tradition. When using Insert --> Caption function frame is generated by
default in openoffice.org and I should spend time to avoid this.
Graphics in frames wasn't in staroffice, it isn't used in msoffice. This
"new feature" disappointed me, when it was introduced in staroffice.
Sincerely
Andis (staroffice/openoffice from 1996)

Thank you for your comprehensive reply.
I have not as yet had to export a file containing pictures to another format
but you have given a pretty good reason for not using frames there!
WRT html this will never cause me a problem as I do not use OOo for this
purpose preferring to write most of the code myself. I must confess that I
make extensive use of tables in doing this so quite why I opted for frames
in Writer I can't really imagine. I guess I just saw it there and thought
"that looks good"!
Thanks again,
Ron Ferguson
