Include additional text formatting options

Hi-
I would like to be able to format Step Text as bulleted lists much like you can in this text editor.
Additional formatting options that would be useful (in order of my priority) include:
- Indent (tab)
- Super and subscript
- Centered text
- Strikethrough
I have been using Alt+0149 to insert a bullet, but it would be nice to be able to format an entire list easily.
It might also be nice to be able to include tables in the Step Text sections but I have been working around the limitation by including a screen shot of a Word table in the Step Image section.
Thanks!

Hi Teresa,
Improved text formatting is something we plan to include in a future version. Lists, superscript and subscript are high on the list.
Centered text is a possibility but less of a priority than the above.
I don't have strikethrough on the list as I wasn't aware people actually used it. I can add it to the list though. Out of curiosity, how are you using strikethrough in your docs?
Tables are something we are considering but we have no definite plans as of yet.
Trevor,
I agree that centered text is a lower priority than the other formatting options. I would put strikethrough even lower as I haven't yet wanted to use it in a Screensteps document. I saw that the editor in this forum included the strikethrough option so I mentioned it as a possible enhancement. I can envision using it to bring attention to changes in text where it may be important to convey the past and present state.
Thanks!
Add a vote for lists please! I think it's the one thing that is making me umm and ahh about recommending SS to my colleagues.
Centred text, not bothered about, but centred images, yes please!
Also, from a typographical point of view, some simple CSS features such as paragraph spacing, H1, H2, H3 etc would be handy. In Wordpress and Word export I can handle that myself, to be honest, but creating the posts in the desktop app I'd love to be able to space my paragraphs to help me with the writing. I'm sure that's really easy ;-)
(Actually, here's a thought - could Screensteps use the CSS stylesheet of the target export? There's a blog post editor for the Mac that does this, so you get a live preview of the post you're writing.)
It is rather ironic that this editor, used to create this comment, has
that the product we are commenting on.
