<font face="Liberation Serif">It's an idea which occurred to me as I
was making a text frame that I intended to create columns in.<br>
<br>
What if we had an item in the context menu that said, for example,
"Text Tab", so that if you selected it, up popped a free-floating
equivalent to the Text tab of Properties, with all its settings,
and it would stay open until I closed it? If I selected a
different text frame, its settings applied there.<br>
Similarly, I could bring up a Shape tab by right-clicking a
polygon or shape, an Image tab if I right-clicked an image frame.<br>
<br>
This is just some free-form musing about the mess that Properties
has become.<br>
Perhaps the best way to conquer Properties is to draw and quarter
it...<br></font></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>:-)</div><div><br></div><div>I believe that this is where we are trying to go now. The PP would contextually offer the user the settings that are relevant to the active object. When in a Text frame, text settings, when in an image frame, image settings. Not even the need for a right-click.</div>
