Something that hasn't been talked about too much is CS4's new preflight
feature. It is an excellent feature and has a lot of potential. However,
I am hoping for some big improvements in CS5.

It has great options for text where you can tell it to specify errors if
you have paragraph or character overrides. But it needs some
improvement. Why is it selecting some of the paragraph text when clicking
on the paragraph that has the error?

The problem with this is that when you go to the paragraph styles panel
to find out what the overrides are you have to first deselect the text
or else it will simply tell you it has mixed overrides. It should just
be putting the cursor at the beginning of the paragraph.

The best thing would be if it would tell you right in the info box what
the overrides are.

I also think it would be nice if there would be an option to only look
for paragraph OR character overrides. Sometimes I only want to know
where I tightened a paragraph etc. and not where I applied a "no break"
or vice versa.

Another nice thing about eh preflight feature is that it allows you to select the pages you want to preflight. So in big docs it won't bog down your system. The problem is changing pages is difficult. There's no way to tell it to refresh and let it know you changed the page. What would be real nice would be a "next page" "previous page" icon that would allow you to page through your document easily.
