We also try to have direct communication with experienced FrameMaker users. We are currently in the planning phase for the future versions of FrameMaker. We would really appreciate if FrameMaker users can take out some time to share their ideas and wishlist with us.
We would prefer to receive a prioritised list of 5 to 10 features (not more than 10). And also a short description for each feature. Based on your requests we might want to schedule a call and discuss your ideas. Some information about yourself and your organisation would help us see your requests in the correct perspective. You can post your list of prioritised features on this forum, or send it to me directly (aseem@adobe.com). I understand that many of you have posted multiple requests in the past. It would be helpful if you resend your prioritised wishlist.
Thank you for your continued support.

"Try these keyboard shortcuts (tap each key, then tap the next - case matters)
"...
"Alternate keystrokes:
"...
"Move through the dialog boxes ..."
Thanks. They work fairly reliably, including <<Esc F i d>> to get back to the document.
They are a bit complicated (I'd prefer, e.g., CTL+(numpad)6 for getting back into the doc, etc.), but they are a huge improvement over grabbing the mouse every few seconds.
Thanks again,
Le

You can configure FM's keystrokes to whatever you want it to do. The
.cfg files to modify are in your \fminit\configui folder. The
information on customizing these in the
"Customizing_FrameMaker_Products.pdf" in the \Documents folder.

b Regular Expressions-esque search
- While the existing Find/Replace is the best and easiest I've seen in a WYSIWIG app, we need something that can match REGEX's sub-string replaces.
2.
b Real nested tables
3.
b More Custom User Variable Options
- How about one that pulls an element's specific attribute?
4.
b More Options for Generated Documents
- Ability to generate directly to a table... maybe even the ability to generate to a specific place in an existing file without overwiting the contents.
5.
b Text Borders
- Many of our clients want to see borders around certain headings, paragraphs, groups of paragraphs, etc. We currently accomplish this by using tables, which isn't really a solution.
6.
b Mix Page Sizes
- Allow us to mix different page sizes in a document, not just page orientation. And while you're at it, allow us to mix regular and side-head flows.
7.
b Inherited Styles
- Works great if you're using an EDD, otherwise you're stuck.
8.
b Graphic Transparency
- Transparency for PNGs, AIs and other graphic formats.

Mac version please! Also, I attend Junior college part time for JAVA and hopefully c++, and as I recall from my photoshop class. The copyright regulations inhibiting the illegal transfer of the programs is a little to stringent. The computers auto log off after a short while, and cannot save any data whatsoever. My holiday wish is Adobe products that have a unique license which is stored off site so that I can acces the same files weather I am using a school computer or my own at home. That would be swell.

John,
Adobe SELLS Student versions of their programs with a VERY aggressive discount. You can use the programs after graduation and they can be used to upgrade to later commercial versions when you are not a student. I'm afraid this is the best you can get.
