The documentation (and code) is still not complete enough on style sheets. I have on my web site a notebook that shows how to make a style sheet in V6 and also a sample style sheet that has some features that I think are generally useful. I still don't know how to easily embed the styles from a designed style sheet into a notebook - so the recipient wouldn't need the style sheet. As to making nice notebooks I would have a lot to say. But I will keep it short. Think of a Mathematica notebook as a piece of paper on which you are writing your ideas. Don't think of Mathematica as a super calculator or as a programming language. Use Section organization (with Automatic grouping). Use lots of Text cells to explain what you are doing. Try to do all the mathematics actively with no or minimal 'word processing'. -- David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/ "Pat Browne" <brownep at storm.ca> wrote in message news:f6d7br$rfu$1 at smc.vnet.net... > > HI MG, > > Does anyone have a favourite tutorial on creating notebooks in different > styles.
