Well, it's a good thing that *I* didn't get in on this

You complain that Word is becoming too much DTP, and yet you complain that
Publisher isn't Word-Processor enough for you!
There is no way to scroll through pages. Each page is treated separately
(this is even more evident in the programming object model), as Publisher is
a DTP app where you focus on the design of individual pages.
If you want to view multiple pages simultaneously for overview purposes, use
Publisher 2002's Print Preview and set it to view multiple pages
simultaneously (you can have up to 55 on a screen at once in 1024x768

Sorry Ed, Quark and Indesign both use the scolling view, usually with the
two-page layout. It works SOOO much better! When you want to continue to the
next text fram, just scroll down (or up!). The ideal would be to have both
options available.

I would muuuuuuch rather have a nice large scratch area than have a scroll
feature like the one in PowerPoint where you can barely scroll to the top of
the page without it jumping accidentally to the next slide.

Again, Quark and Indesign have PLENTY of scratch area. I know, I know, now I
will here about programs that cost $700+, but the comparison was to DTP
programs, not Powerpoint. In both of these apps, you don't "jump" into the
next page. The screen goes to exactly the spot you want and stays there.
That jab also includes Publisher's ridiculous habit of going to the top of
the text frame when you click on it after clicking on something else.

Yes, but if you described the feature as you did in your first reply, and
Microsoft accepted it, they would almost undoubtedly make it act like
PowerPoint, because they could probably port the code over.
Having never had enough cash for Quark or InDesign, I have not seen those
features. How exactly does it work? (You say it doesn't jump to the next
page and that there is plenty of scratch area, but you can scroll from page
to page??)
