I recently inquired > Where do the standard style sheets in the > Format >> Style Sheet menu hide? and a helpful email correspondent replied: > In the SystemFiles\FrontEnd\StyleSheets > subfolder of the installation folder. which turns out to be true, at least on my Mac. But I'd just note the following comments FWTW: * Mathematica on the Mac is installed as a "package", which I guess is an effective and useful way to, well, "package up" an app and all its files in a single closed container. * This package can be opened in the Finder and its contents examined and even messed with using some slightly arcane (and, to the novice, perhaps rather intimidating) tools; and doing this indeed reveals the subfolder full of style sheets as mentioned above. * But, on Mac OS 10.3.9 at least, the basic "Find" function in the Finder will *not* find the contents of this subfolder, even if you extend the search to "Visible and invisible files". You can't search for and find "ArticleClassic.nb" for example. * Worse yet, when I search in this way for "Default.nb" I get 4 or 5 hits spread around in other Mathematica-related folders on my HD, none of which are *the* Default.nb that's inside the Mathematica package (which I presume is the functional one that's actually used when Mathematica is invoked). In other words, not a totally helpful setup . . . [And by the way, is it "style sheet" or "stylesheet"? Note that Mathematica itself uses *both* forms at different points in its naming and documentation -- which doesn't make searches for information on style sheets/stylesheets any easier.] =========================
