Not sure what you are referring to. As everybody else, I would mainly 
like to see functionality in KWord like hyphenation, mail merge, or indexing 
which is critical for more widespread corporate and academic use. 
Unfortunately, as a non-programmer there is not much I can contribute.

As to DTP: I think it's great that KWord follows a frame paradigm like most 
programs in this area and I also think that quite a lot of ideas could be 
borrowed from a well-designed DTP program like Ventura Publisher. But I'm not 
after heavy-weight DTP functionality in KWord, ie all the professional 
typesetting features, high precision output, color calibration and separation 
etc. This would probably best be reserved to a specialized app like the 
KVentura project we were talking about the other day. For KWord, most of this 
would be a waste of ressources which only a few users would appreciate.

Regards,

Thomas
