Here is my list. I will try not to repeat other suggestions: - Better tools for resolving unresolved cross-references. - Warning whenever a text deletion involves markers of any type. This could reduce unresolved cross-references and shrinking indexes. - Fit to anchored frame option for imported graphics. - Make alternative bullets easier to get. My students want to kill me whenever I show them how. - Allow master pages in different page sizes within same fm file. This would help foldouts within a chapter - Prompt when referenced graphics have been updated similar to InDesign so that you can choose whether to update the graphic that appears in the frame doc. - Continue to find ways to make FrameMaker integrate better with other Adobe products and interface. I am always amazed at how easy it was to learn InDesign and how similar it was and easily it integrates with other Adobe products. I know that Adobe has probably worked pretty hard at this already, but keep up the great work. - Offer Frame as part of a suite like Adobe's Web, Design and Publishing Collections. This may get Frame into the hands of more small businesses. - I agree with other posts, need to be able to lock down certain template features without resorting to structured Frame. - Easy way to find and remove format over rides. - Allow frame borders to look more like the ones in InDesign, ie. change the colour to something else like light blue (this is a would be nice request) - Make developing structured applications easier in Structured Frame. With the now unified product and roundtrip XML capability, a lot of businesses would like to go in this direction but lack the time and expertise to undertake this. Otherwise, it's a great product that does what's promised.
