Yes. That's what happens with the Default stylesheet. If you have two consecutive Text cells in a notebook with the JournalArticle Stylesheet, then when you press Backspace at the beginning of the second one, the two cells merge. The issue I mention below of two consecutive Equation cells doesn't happen with a Default stylesheet, since there is no Equation style in this case. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Tomas Garza" <tgarza10 at msn.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 12:21 AM To: <mathgroup at smc.vnet.net> Subject: [mg111903] [mg111890] Re: Equation style crash bug > That's strange: when I have two consecutive text cells and I press > Backspace at the beginning of the second one, nothing happens.
