Hello all you helpful experts: 1. With Format > Word Wrapping > Don't, it frequently wraps when the text (cursor) is less than halfway across the screen. Why does this happen? I haven't changed any of the screen behaviors so far as I know. 2. Mathematica has this "helpful" feature where even in a Text cell when you introduce certain characters, suddenly all alignments go screwy as if to warn you that , for example, a right paren is lacking. It also does this at times when I can't see what it's trying to tell me. I hate this feature and want to depend on myself for format correctness. Is there a way to get rid of it? 3. Why does the appearance of for example a product symbol (with lower and upper limits) depend on whether the cell is Text or Input? The symbol in a text cell is tiny, ugly, and kind of useless. Can I make it (and the others) look like it does in an Input cell? I know about making Input cells not evalatable, but maybe there is another way. Thank you in advance. Steve Gray
