Good to know that Default_8.0.nb is there. And, also under OS X, I can use choose it as stylesheet -- although it takes a lot of navigation to get there. But how does one add it to the Format > Stylesheet menu list? I uses File > Install to do so and even restarted Mathematica 9 with a clean cache (using Shift + Cmd at startup). But Default_8.0 is still not listed there. P.S. Docs say you can reset Mathematica's preferences to their default value by holding down Shift+Ctrl during startup. But under OS X that doesn't even allow Mathematica to open! It just brings up the context menu for Mathematica.app. On Dec 7, 2012, at 1:39 AM, George Woodrow III <georgevw3 at mac.com> wrote: > I was poking around in the Package contents (OS X -- I am sure windows has a similar mechanism), and found a file called Default_8.0.nb.
