While I definitely understand your reasoning here, for myself, I would prefer to have the ability to easily toggle display of the In/Out tags. =46or my normal workflow I prefer having the In/Out tags displayed. I often find I want to re-execute something in the course of working with a given notebook. Perhaps simply to change what data I am plotting or to change some minor parameter. Mathematica of course makes it easy to do this by simply editing an existing cell and re-executing. The In/Out numbers make it easy for me to determine when I have done this and easily use results of something I had not specifically assigned to a variable. But once I've adjusted things to my liking for say a particular plot, I sometimes want to share that plot with a colleague who doesn't use Mathematica. A simple way to do that is select the cell and "print" it to a PDF file on Mac OS X. But for this plot I do not want the In/Out tags to show up. Hence the desire to easily toggle whether they appear or not. -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and four
