* Drop down menus (AGAIN) I have now demonstrated WD to six users; they love it but the first question ALWAYS: "What about nav bars?" You show them the layer approach and they just laugh.
* Quickkey to set/reset margins in text

I just bought the application over the weekend. Thrilled about it, but there are two basic functions which I would like to see. I realize that these functions are available, but not very user friendly as other functions in the application:

1. Easy way to make tables, like with Excel. Tables are an intricate part of any Web page, at least mine, and a user friendly application like Web designer needs to have an easy way to make tables. Right now, it's a real pain in the.... Either you do your tables in Excel and import them, but even then, there is no great flexibility. You can also develop tables using boxes within web Designer, but it's not easy. I'm sure you can can come up with something, you already did a super job with the rest, lets not be stingy and complete the loop.

2. Drop-down menus. Again, there are ways to do this, but they are not easy. Let's go, give us a real easy tool to work with and complete the loop.

That's it. I'm sure I could think of other functionalities, but I'm satisfied with whith what I have.... if you give me the 2 features I am requesting.

Here's a request I've not yet seen and one I'd love to see (in xtreme as well):

transparency at the layer level. this can be used for image display tricks, but also so that you can see what's going on on a layer below the one you are woking on, for lining stuff up, etc. PSP has this as an example.

My original: Wish List: Quick keys to set/reset margins

Checked the Quick Keys list again but do not see any Quick Keys for resetting margins. In the work I do it is often necessary to indent a few paras and then drop back to no indent. For example CTRL Q (not currently used in Text Tool) could remove para formatting (a la Word) and CTRL SHIFT I or just plain TAB to indent the para or even BKSPACE.

At the moment I get around it by doing the first indent then using Copy & Paste Attribute. This is a bit of a pain but better than manipulating those ruler markings.

If something has been implemented please advise as I have not found it yet. (May be having a male look
