Some of the new features sound as though they'll be quite useful (different page sizes and some of the UI improvements especially), but I have to say I'm quite annoyed that endnotes still haven't been introduced to InDesign. The official help file still has to send readers to a blog for a work around (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/CS5/Using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6f37a.html), which seems, to be honest, pathetic. The fact that time and resources have been put into making InDesign able to produce and output Flash files and place video files into PDFs while ignoring endnotes, notes in tables, footnotes spanning columns, improved tables, etc. makes the whole update feel like a bit of a slap in the face to print designers. Anyway, anger aside, does anyone know why it's taking so long for what seems like such a small change? Part of the reason that I'm so annoyed is that it seems as though, now that footnotes are supported, it would be quite simple to enable dynamic endnotes (aren't they just footnotes pulled to the end of the document, rather than the bottom of each page?). Or am I missing something? I'm no software developer, so it's certainly possible!
