Peter: For many years I've used a program that to some extent meets the above goals: Canvas. o It runs on Mac and Windows. o It lets you easily mix and match vector and raster objects. o It has a goodly assortment of graphic design effects and control (It's like a mini drafting program combined with a mini Photoshop). o It also has good word processing and page layout capabilities. o It easily lets you create documents as long as you like (I routinely create 70-page UI specs with it). o It exports multi-page documents to PDF (so that the rest of the world can read them). o It lets you create hot-spots on your pages, link them together, and export the lot as a combination of HTML and images: so you can create a graphically rich, statically linked sets of web pages for use a wireframes or prototypes. It's got some annoying bugs, and it doesn't do all the things that the programs you mention do, but I always find myself going back to it because it combines in one program so many feature sets that I want to apply to the same document.
