Re: Re: Re: deleting a title or subtitle in a notebook

I suggested a much simpler (in my opinion) approach: just clicking  
anywhere in the cell that does not display a bracket and choosing  
Show Expression form the Format menu. The bracket will then appear. I  
have been using this mehtod for years. I am curious that this  
suggestion is being ignored; is there anything wrong with it?
