How does one overcome this? Murray: Here are some suggestions: Make new notebook. Display the style sheet: - Format > Edit Style Sheet ... > [for a test use Import Private Copy], In style sheet, select cell bracket of cell given by Styles for Input/Output > Prototype for style : "Input": Now display the option inspector: Format > Option Inspector ... > - in Cell Options > New CellDefaults > set where necessary DefaultFormatType ----->DefaultInputFormatType DefaulInlinetFormatType--->DefaulIInputInlineFormatType and in CommonDefaultFormatTypes set where necessary Input ----> InputForm TextInline ----> TraditionalForm InputInline ----> StandardForm Click "Apply" button at top - make a input cell: Check that in it: 1. tabbing and indentation work 2. two dimensional formatting does not work To deal with 2.: - select the cell bracket; - in the Option Inspector find Cell Options > EdittingOptions > set AllowInlineCells ----> True Click"Apply" button at top We should be able to set AllowInlineCells in the style sheet but I have not succeeded. We can adjust the default style in this way or make an extra style sheet. Allan Hayes hay at haystack.demon.co.uk http://www.aystack.demon.co.uk
