A few things puzzle me even though they are not vital: 1. Occasionally when I execute a cell the output appears not immediately under the executed cell but it skips a cell. For example if I have some input followed by a text cell the output occasionally will appear under the text cell! Why? 2. I keep "teaching" Mathematica certain words so that they will not appear as incorrectly spelt when I do a spell check. Regardless of how often I press "learn" when I do a spell check these words still stop the spell checking procedure and bring up a window asking me to "skip", "replace", etc. Now I've checked the options and I have a library of words stored yet words that are in that library still cause the program to stop and prompt a spell check. For example if I have "irritating" stored in my library (after having pressed "learn" on many occasions) the spell checker will still stop at the word "irritating." Why? 3. I have highlighted some comments in input cells in red, i.e. (* red comments *). I have my stylesheet configured with the print versions of input specifically defined with FontColor->GrayLevel[0]. Yet when I print the red stuff still comes out red! Why doesn't the printout specification of my stylesheet overule localised stuff in a cell? 4. The magical addition of slashes has been discussed elsewhere in this group is also an irritation. That discussion was in the context of notebooks transferred across platforms. I find that slashes magically appear in notebooks I haven't opened for awhile (yet have not moved from my hard drive). Why? This is all happening with V4.2 on Mac OS X. thanks Mike
