A slight variation on this might be if you are set up with dual monitors (which in my view you should be--a study I was part of some years ago found about a 12% productivity gain in a docs department), you might have the text doc open on one screen, the Frame doc in the
other...and move the pieces section by section so you are sure you don't miss anything in the process.
