Request 1: Multi-Page Table Cell Support for Merged Cells
Current Problem:
InDesign cannot break merged table cells across pages, creating significant limitations for complex hierarchical tables. When a merged cell spans more rows than can fit on a single page, the entire table becomes unviewable or requires manual workarounds.
Real-World Scenario:
• Level 1: A main category (e.g., "Strategic Goal") spans 30 rows
• Level 2: 30 detailed items, each in individual rows
• Current Issue: The merged cell cannot break across pages, making the table unusable
Proposed Solution:
Implement automatic cell threading for merged cells across page breaks, similar to Microsoft Word's functionality:
• Allow merged cells to split naturally at page boundaries
• Maintain visual continuity with repeated cell content or indicators
• Preserve cell formatting and styles across page breaks
• Optional: Add "Keep with next X rows" setting for better control
Technical Benefits:
• Maintains InDesign's superior table styling capabilities
• Enables complex document structures without design compromises
• Reduces manual workarounds and increases productivity
• Aligns with user expectations from other professional document tools

Request #2: Table Cell Intersection Styling
Current Limitation:
Table cells cannot have rounded corners or customized intersection points because cells share borders rather than having independent edges.
Conceptual Innovation:
Instead of trying to add "corner radius" to cells (which is geometrically impossible with shared borders), introduce Intersection Point Styling.
Proposed Feature: "Intersection Styles"
Similar to current Line Styles, add styling options for where cell borders meet:
Intersection Style Options:
• Round: Curved intersection points
• Beveled: Angled corner cuts
• Notched: Small decorative cuts
• Custom: User-defined intersection shapes
• Weighted: Different styles based on border thickness
Implementation Details:
Current: Line Style (solid, dashed, dotted, custom)
Proposed: + Intersection Style (round, beveled, notched, custom)
Technical Precedent:
• SVG supports stroke-linejoin properties
• CSS has similar capabilities with border-radius and border-collapse
• Vector graphics software already handles line intersections
Benefits:
• Maintains table structure integrity
• Provides design flexibility without breaking functionality
• More logical than impossible "cell corner radius"
• Expandable system for future intersection decorations

Impact Statement:
These improvements would:
1. Eliminate major workflow barriers for complex document design
2. Distinguish InDesign further from competitors by solving real problems
3. Maintain InDesign's superiority in professional typography and layout
4. Address frequent user requests without compromising existing functionality
Both features leverage InDesign's existing strengths while addressing fundamental limitations that force users toward less capable alternatives for specific use cases.
