Specifically, I don't believe that Aldus has ever said anything publicly about what will be in the next release of PageMaker. Aldus has been soliciting the requests of its users on the Aldus forum on CompuServe. I do know that full S & R is NOT the most requested feature for PM4; rotation of objects in 1 degree increments is, followed by search & replace, grouping, baseline to baseline leading, custom line weights and styles, etc. If anyone is really interested in this list, send me E-mail, and I'll pass a copy on to you. I just wish they would do something to improve the performance of PM3. Here's my prediction: by the time that PageMaker 4.0 (or whatever) ships, QuarkXPress will have most, if not all, of its features, and will do them better and faster.
