Deleting text in FrameBuilder requires that the corresponding
elements be deleted as well. For example, if you find yourself
deleting a paragraph marker that keeps reappearing, then delete
the <Para> element in the structure view.
Keep an eye on the structure view to ensure that you are deleting
everything that needs deleting. If you prefer, you can do your
deleting in the structure view itself.

Make sure your figures follow the requirements listed in the "Do
I need to use mifmucker?" section.
Do not wrap the text in a figure in elements. The text can be
formatted with normal paragraph and character formats, but not
elements--wrapping figure text in elements fouls up stuff so the
document cannot be validated.
Electronic Book Technology's graphic handling (which PinPoint uses) is buggy at best. See the "Converting figures" section for information on how to improve graphics display time.
PinPoint does not use the paragraph and character formats
associated with the Frame documents.
The style sheet used by PinPoint determines how the online docs
look based on the element wrappers.

If Builder beeps at you when you attempt to insert a RETURN in a
structured document, insert a <Para> element at the position
where you want the RETURN. See the "Keyboard shortcuts" section for a quick way to insert elements.
Hardspaces do not exist online; you cannot keep two words
together. Existing hardspaces are converted to regular spaces
during HPTAG.
