How can I make them all small? I'm sick to death of the bizarre formatting rules which Mathematica uses. I want a plain, simple, fixed-format, in which a "1" will print as a "1.0000" (NOT "1.") and a "1.39281" will print as a "1.3928" and a "1.31" will print as a "1.3100". I've tried NumberForm, I've tried PaddedForm, I've tried writing the damned things to a file--and I cannot get the simple, classical, traditional "f6.4". HOW DO I DO THIS?! And when I print it to a file, I **don't** want to find the file filled with a bunch of "NumberForm[..."'s. And as I mentioned in another post, **my** Options Inspector won't make any changes. --Ron Bruck -- Due to University fiscal constraints, .sigs may not be exceed one line.
