(1) I don't know. (2) An easy thing to do is to change the display magnification at the bottom of the workbook window or use the menu command Window | Magnification (3) Until assigned a value, what you type is a Symbol. Head /@ {word, 2, Pi, Pi // N, 3.14, 1/4, "str"} {Symbol, Integer, Symbol, Real, Real, Rational, String} #[word] & /@ {Head, StringQ, NumericQ} {Symbol, False, False} word = 2; #[word] & /@ {Head, StringQ, NumericQ} {Integer, False, True} word = "str"; #[word] & /@ {Head, StringQ, NumericQ} {String, True, False} word =. #[word] & /@ {Head, StringQ, NumericQ} {Symbol, False, False} Bob Hanlon On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 12:04 AM, Dushan Mitrovich <dushanm at nnips.net>wrote: > I'm running Mathematica 9.01 under Mountain Lion X.8.3, and have 3 > questions to > which I haven't been able to find answers: > > * When some text, or a cell is selected the highlight background color > is now a light blue; where do I change that default?
