First, let me say, "Great Start!" I'm a long time ID user (and before that, Quark). I've decided to recreate a project I complete monthly to see how it goes. I will add that I am NOT a CC user so my long experience with ID ends with CS 5.5. I will list a few roadblocks I ran into. Undoubtedly you are already familiar with these issues, others may have already documented them, or I simply could not find the functionality; but here goes: I was unable to import text from MS Word docs (Mac created, .docx extension). This seems like something you absolutely need. Using Find and Replace was a bit limiting as it seemingly will not recognize invisible characters. This makes a simple job of replacing 2 carriage returns with 1—within a paragraph which uses a style to provide "space after"—very tedious. Also I appreciate notification after a search is completed. Finally, in find / replace, GREP ability is hugely useful in a long document. (Thank you for including styles in the search.) Speaking of Styles, I do love that you combined the Paragraph and Style functionality in a single window. I was unable to create hyperlinks. My project gets exported as a PDF with a linked TOC. I don't think I overlooked how to do this as I saw no "include hyperlinks" option in "export for web." In my project, I have 4 pages of linked text. I added a couple of blank pages at the end and started typing. The response was VERY slow, and I was unable to select any of the newly typed text either directly or by Command + a. Feels like a bug. Thank you for making this first look available—it is so much better than I hoped for. Publisher will be a winner, eventually. My credit card is ready. If you want to see the file I referenced, I can send it privately. [mid 2010 iMac macOS 10.13.6 16GB RAM]
