Nothing happens when you click except that you've placed your insertion point where you want it. On my machine, I see a horizontal line all the way across the page at that point, but nothing has really happened yet. But... when you start typing, that's where the cell is created. Bobby -----Original Message----- From: rad0 [mailto:rad0 at mindspring.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg34655] [mg34640] new user question about creating a new cell Hello, Just reading thru the getting started book, and in the 'Notebooks and Cells' section, page 16, it says to move the pointer until it becomes a horizontal I beam, click, and a cell insertion bar will appear. This doesn't happen on my machine. It turns into a horizontal I beam, but nothing happens when I click. The only way I can create a new cell is to just begin typing. This creates a cell of the input style. Then you can select the cell and turn it into anything you want, but it doesn't seem to work the way the book describes, via clicking. So, ---do I have someting set somewhere to keep the horizontal I beam from creating a new cell, or what? Thanks
