David, I agree with you that it makes responding and using easier if the In and Out numbers are not included. An easier way to do this, rather than copying the contents of the cells, is to use menu>Kernel>Show In/Out Names. Usually a little manual reformating is needed to distinguish text, input and output --- I try to use one tab indent for input and two tabs indent for output, plus some blank line adjustment. I wonder if anyone has a way of automatically achieving this reformating. -- Allan --------------------- Allan Hayes Mathematica Training and Consulting Leicester UK www.haystack.demon.co.uk hay at haystack.demon.co.uk Voice: +44 (0)116 271 4198 Fax: +44 (0)870 164 0565 "David Park" <djmp at earthlink.net> wrote in message news:an149g$idb$1 at smc.vnet.net... > Often posters to MathGroup copy and paste in the complete cell expression, > including the In and Out numbers, when posting to MathGroup. > > I wonder if this is the best method because one can't then just copy out all > the statements and paste them into a Mathematica notebook.
