Things That Really Annoy Word Users

One of the things that makes learning Fm so difficult is the many piddling but baffling differences between Word and Frame. (It's also not particularly consistent with other Adobe products, so your familiarity with Photoshop or Dreamweaver isn't going to do you much good with this one.)

Here, to relieve my feelings, is a list of some of the differences that particularly stand out. I'll be adding to it as inspiration strikes.

Fm doesn't have an Insert menu. When you want to insert a picture, a field, or a symbol, you have to go scrambling to three different locations to do so.

There is no way to create macros in Fm.

You can't double-click to edit headers/footers. In fact, double-clicking doesn't accomplish much of anything in Fm.

You can't drag column borders to resize the columns.

I can't find a way to change from lower case to sentence case or title case, or vice versa. Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to apply upper case as a format while retaining the memory of the case you typed in--if your text is formatted as uppercase, it will appear as UC in references, the TOC, indices, &c.

I can't seem to change the parameters used to build the TOC without creating a completely new TOC doc. You can't just revise the TOC build criteria within an existing TOC (as far as I can tell).

Other annoyances
Why aren't the palettes arranged like other Adobe palettes, with that nice CS3 docking action? Why isn't the History palette formatted like other Adobe History palettes?

Why don't the buttons look like either Adobe or MS standard buttons?

Why does it so frequently erase its History?

Why do the lines of text jiggle as I type them--even when they're left justified with no hyphenation?

Why is the interface so homely?

Why isn't there a button in the tool bar to switch from Body to Master Page to Reference views?
