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?
