This seems to be because the usage message cells are now not editable by default. I am not sure why this design decision was made but it seems rather too restrictive. I also asked a question earlier on about the unusual form of CellStyle specificatoin for these cells: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/browse_thread/thread/aa875df9af2dac56/9bc9c6a1622c45e0 I mention this because one would need to be careful to take this intoaccount when editing the default stylesheet to remove the locked state of these cells. The cell style in questoin is "PrintUsage", so CellPrint[Cell["This is a cell", "PrintUsage"]] yields a locked cell. Edit in the base style sheet Core.nb, if you edit the PrintUsage style so that it is no longer locked: Editable->True, you will again be able to modify your Usage cells. When you take a peek at Core.nb you'll see that there are a number of other similar cells that have Editable- >False as their default.... -David On Jul 24, 6:02 am, "David Park" <djmp... at comcast.net> wrote: > With 6.0 the new usage messages have, for me, a marginally small font size. > This was not so bad because I could select the cell and enlarge the font > with Alt + =.
