Well, it will be if we ALL start screaming for So, everyone get on it: [2]http://www.adobe.com/support/feature.html How about someone re-write all those wishes into a format that will cut and paste into the Adobe form? Geez, I have been harping on about all this stuff for years, on lists, to Dov, on Adobe surveys and what all. So can I be excused from going to the less than friendly Adobe page to type them all in yet AGAIN? Now that Madcap is trumpeting Blaze as the (eventual) FrameMaker killer, I bet there is someone at Adobe paid to monitor these lists full-time. Here's another feature: Another feature that should be implemented is automatic adjustment of page depth. Commercial publishers are always keen for every page to be full, that is, full-depth. So even where a diagram or whatever SHOULD be in-line for pedagogical reasons, they will place it on another page with a figure title or whatever and cross-reference it from its natural in-line home. When I used to lay out books with full-depth pages, one way to get rid of orphans and widows was to make a double-spread a line shorter or a line deeper than normal to push the offending line forward or pull it back. This could be automated, with the proviso that a shallow page should never be immediately followed by a deeper page. Believe me, no reader ever notices! And you can avoid the problem of the last two lines of a para being dragged onto the next page, thus leaving a double-spread where one side is normal depth and the facing page is (apparently) one line shallower because a line has been pushed over.
