Hi Per, Based on what you wrote I gather you're not familiar with StyleSheets in Mathematica. That's what you need to learn how to use. You either use an existing Stylesheet or create your own. The StyleSheet then has various cell templates that you choose to enter various formatted data into your notebook. For example if you wanted to enter a block of descriptive text, you would choose the "text" style, and then as you enter text into that cell style, it's formatted as simple text although embedded math can be entered as well. There is a whole process for managing, editing, creating, and using stylesheets in Mathematica. For example, if I just wanted to startout using the Book stylesheet, I would choose File/New/Styled Notebook/Book. That loads a default stylesheet in a default "book" style. But you would need to understand how to use those styles and edit the styles and I'm not aware of a good reference for that. Dominic
