As usual, I found the work around a few minutes after posting. I guess the right way is to build all the cells first, then create the document in one shot using CreateDocument. I was trying to create a document, then write to it cell by cell. Should work, and I still don't understand why it doesn't, but CreateDocument combined with ExpressionCell does what I want. GF How do you send a graphic to a notebook under program control? For example, taking the documentation example CellPrint[Cell[BoxData[ToBoxes[Plot[Sin[x], {x, -2, 2}]]], "Output"]] and changing to NotebookWrite[nb, Cell[BoxData[ToBoxes[Plot[Sin[x], {x, -2, 2}]]], "Output"]] gives an error message (nb is a previously created notebook object). I think I've seen this somewhere, and remember it was pretty obscure. Surprising that anything to works inside CellPrint would not work inside NotebookWrite. Gerry F.
