I purchased Publicon when it came out hoping that it would work well in tandem with mathematica to produce technical paper. I found quicly that mathematica output cells could not always be paste directly in publicon documents. In particular, i realised that some cells become uneditable. At the time, I contacted Wolfram staffs on this aspect and they conformed me that I had discover a bug in publicon. As far as I know, no patch have been posted to correct this problem. I gave up lately and decided to go back using mathematica only. I suspect that publicon did not sell well which lead to no further developpements. -- Benoît Carmichael Professeur titulaire Département d'économique Pavillon J.-A. de Sève Université Laval Québec (P.Q) G1K 7P4 Tél.: (418) 656-2131 #5442 Avis relatif à la confidentialité: =================== Ce message contient des renseignements qui peuvent être confidentiels ou protégés.
