Hi, I've just been wading through the 2010 beta details, hoping to find the
following missing features are finally included.
1. the ability to import/merge publisher native files.
2. the ability to generate a table of contents/title index.
To my (very) simple mind the first is fundamental to any such product. If I
have a team working on large product, the need for all of them to access the
core file set is not only impractical but downright dangerous. They must be
able to work on and only on their assigned part of the project. These parts
are then compiled into the final product at or near the end of the project.
Not with Publisher, unless you know different.
The second is a basic requirement of a DTP! TGo transfer the publication
into 'Word' to accomplish this a) is impractical in a large publication, and
b) dosn't work! onlt the text makes it accros, if you're lucky.
