Dear Community, I regularly face with a very boring problem. I make documents for educational purposes working in Math6 Windows 7. Documents are done using the StyleSheet JournalArticle. They often contain various inline, displayed and displayed numbered formula. All of them are written down as it is usually done in scientific texts, e.g. in the traditional form. The latter is an important point, since these documents are assumed to may be used by people with no idea of Mathematica, and they should not be confused by a somewhat unusual notation. On the other hand making the documents within the Mathematica (rather than any other redactor) is defined by my wish to keep all my In-Out cells within these documents (though in a hidden form). Ok, now comes two problems: 1. When I save the document, a message pops up informing me that the document has some text in TraditionalForm, and will be rewritten. And indeed the traditional form part is rewritten after OK is clicked. The more is that I never managed to restore it into the traditional form by say, choosing Menu/Cell/ConvertTo/TraditionalForm. The funny thing is that it happens not each time, but once out of three - four trials. 2. Sometimes the cell containing a mathematical expression is not completely rewritten into say, InputForm, but if the formula contains several symbols with sub- and superscripts (note that I have introduced this in the traditional form) the latter is nevertheless re-written by Mathematica as Superscript[a,b]. It typically takes additional time and requires a rearrangement of the expression to avoid such a form. It takes a hell of time, that I do not have. It is extremely boring. I would be grateful for any idea. Regards, Alexei -- Alexei Boulbitch, Dr., habil. Senior Scientist IEE S.A.
