sorry, to be critical against your workflow, but if you have to click
select text across 200 frames or through longer parts of text (i don't
know what exactly you mean with 200 times... are you aware that there
are keys like up, down, page up, page down, home and end? and even next
word and previous word?) you're imo doing something wrong...
even if you have 200 cases where you have a shorter selection which
crosses the frame boundary... your workflow does not seem well optimized
to me...
ciao
a.l.e
p.s.: i've tried to apply the method i was describing in my previous
mail and, while you can indeed see the selection crossing the frame
boundaries, applying a formatting (or copying the text) will only use
the selection in the (newly) active frame: so, no, this won't work for
you anyway...
