Put the Dynamic[x] in an Inline Cell within the Text cell. Select it and Evaluate it in place. Then when you evaluate x=5, or Clear[x] elsewhere in the notebook the value in the Text cell should change. Anyway, it works for me. David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/ From: Murray Eisenberg [mailto:murray at math.umass.edu] I cannot get this to work: I created two new Input cells: Dynamic[x] x = 5 Then I created a Text cell: the value is as you can see and into it, between "is " and " as" pasted the Dynamic[x] expression copied from the first of the two Input cells -- even using Ctrl-( to create explicitly an Inline cell there. Still, selecting that pasted expression and using the menu item Evaluation > Evaluate in place seems to do nothing. What am I doing wrong? Also, if somehow this can be made to work, would the value of Dynamic[x] in the Inline cell then automatically update when the value of x changes? (My understanding of Dynamic tells me it should.)
