[Text Frames and bits]

I don't know about anyone else, but I found using text frames fiddly.

You can't resize all text frames at the same time

Double-clicking on a page icon is tedious when you want to select a page

Search and replace lacks refinement - in Word you can search for paragraph marks

There is no bookmarking,

no hyperlinking between text selections

There should be a way to select all text frames of a particular identifier

Export has no decent options to .docx/.doc/.odt/.rtf etc...

It just feels like the tool is only half there. The tools that I would have expected from using Serif Publisher or Word or Framemaker or Quark Express are just not there and the whole process is made harder.

Definitely the menus are way too small and difficult to locate

As it stands, this is a product that I would not buy even at some loony price.

[Pre-defined templates]

It would have been 'nice' to have some pre-defined templates for basic layouts. 

[Guides]

Only horizontal and vertical guides - should also have angled guides

Guides a pain to edit - should be able to double-click on guide to bring up dialog

[Menu text]

Menu text is very small, I mean teeny-weeny. I'm using a 27" iMac and having to squint a lot. 

It would also have been 'nice' if when you select a tool, the associated menu is highlighted

[Import other files]

I can't see any tool for importing from other documents (or formats) other than copy and paste, which is pretty bad.

[Cross referencing]

I can't see any facility for cross referencing, either internally or to external content.
