We had a client that wanted line numbers in a document, a new feature in v11. We would not have upgraded otherwise. It was literally a 'if Frame can't number the lines, we put this back into Word' situation -- for a 400 page specification document. I cannot imagine the pain of trying to wrangle something that large and complex in Word!
Sadly, having spent the flippin' $600 to upgrade, they were not happy with how Frame does the line numbers (they wanted contiguous numbers thru the entire 400-page book, whereas Frame restarts in every chapter and at every 1000th line). So we ended up having to throw the problem over to Rick Quatro, who came up with an excellent scripted solution at a fraction of the upgrade cost. Which is quite possibly why I'm so peevish about the upgrade price:we spent $600/employee for nothing we could use.
