There's one very annoying feature I've found when you print pages from the version 6 Documentation Center: The header and footer don't tell you the topic you're printing. For example, if you print the Introduction to Dynamic tutorial, you'll get a header Printed from: Wolfram Mathematica - Complete Documentation | # (where # is the page number) and a footer giving copyright information. The same thing is true if you print, say, the reference page on Plot. This gets really annoying once you've collected printouts on a number of topics. Presumably one could use the File>Printing Settings>Headers and Footers menu item to manually set a header to give the topic or title, but why should this hassle be necessary? I realize that there must be some folks at WRI who simply don't believe in printing to and reading from, paper. But for the rest of us, the result ought to be more useful than it is now. So I strong urge that items printed from the Documentation Center automatically provide the topic/title in the header (or at least the header on odd- or even-numbered pages). -- Murray Eisenberg murray at math.umass.edu Mathematics & Statistics Dept.
