Default Missing? features.

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.

You can import Publisher files into your current Publisher document. Look on the
Insert tab just below WordArt.
As for TOC/Index, Publisher still remains a DTP application. When you have a
text box application trying to create Indexes and a TOC is darn near impossible.
It will remain a manual operation.

Which version of Publisher Mary, Under the Insert tab in 2007, I don't
even have wordart, that's buried under picture.
As to ToC in DTP whether its easy or impossible, to me, it's a
requirement!

There are some nice features in Pub 2010. Nothing huge but sometimes it only
takes one simple feature to make a program worth buying. Now if the
Publisher team wants to knock *my* socks off, they have to add Office Art
2.0.
