I am a user of FrameMaker for decades and now the 2019 version. Here are elements that are missing from FrameMaker 2019 and do exist in MS word:Bibliography- How can one write a book without a Bibliography option? This is no less that a disgrace for marketing and engineering that requires manual generation of a proper Bibliography. Before Adobe gloats on speed lets have the basics! It does exist in the inferior word!!The Equation and MathMl editors are not readable on a 4K screen. Too small frame and not scalable. On the MS word the WIRIS equation editor is scalable (looks like Adobe knows more about vector graphics than MS) and looks great on a 4K screen at any scale. The integration with framemaker is a disgrace for a company like Adobe where technical writing is missing now Bibliography and Math tools.I am expecting an answer on your immediate plans to address this issues that affect Adobe business.

I have not seen any answer from FrameMaker yet after a year! Pretty amazing.

Dear Diverπ

For 1. Bibliography you may have a look at my web site: Bibliogrpahy with Citavi or Endnote.

For 2. Equation Editor you may look at my web site: Modified Equation Palette.Well, it's only 125% of the original size - but it's using fonts. So I could build a larger version also - but not for all FM versions back ...

Thanks so much for your input. I was looking at the direct integration of these features to FrameMaker as a very expensive tool set. I hope that can be included in the following version or upgrade. Thanks again.
