On top of my wish list is a VERY small and simple request; to drag a headline to a collapsed headline with option should only put the subhead last IF shift also was down otherwise it should go FIRST. (Long ago (3.0) I talked to Symantec about this but then the software where abandoned)

This has always annoyed me as I now has to expand the headline to get the subhead sorted first.

If you mark a text bold you get this annoying little marker for a ruler, to get text bold without this you have to split the process in that you first set the left part of a headline to bold and then the rigth. It should be a better way.

A possibility to change every keyboard shortcut (using the shortcuts with a non US keyboard is a nightmare) NowMenus does not understand MORE though QuicKeys does but it slower to configure.

I think you should be able to exclude all comments from a search.

I love the gather command but would like to have an alternative way to highlight text that was NOT gathered.

>I also would have liked multiple rule sets: one for printing, and another for structural changes and basic text editing.

I solved this by having different rule sets in a library, one for writing the report and one for printing (with TOC) (if of any interest I can share this rather complicated setup)

Last a useful tip; It is important to use Save as from now and then as your files grows. It does efficiently compact them but also check them from hidden structural faults (a headline suddenly refuses to expand).
