Until we can get the list fixed/split, _please_ ask here (as you've done). This is the only forum we've got, for the moment. >i) Why does Alpha sometime refuse to uncomment paragraphs with a >message that says I must select the entire paragraph, including >trailing end, in order to uncomment a region? If, in TeX mode, you've got: %% % Now is the % time for % all good men % to come to % the aid of % their country %% you can't select from "the" to "good" and try to uncomment paragraph. For that matter, you can't even select from "Now" to "country". You need to select what the error dialog calls the "tail ends", i.e., the "%%" and " %%" that bracket the paragraph. >ii) Is there a way to find and replace all occurrences of a given >string with just one dialog box and keystroke? Enable the supersearch package. __________________________________________________________________ Jonathan E. Guyer <http://www.his.com/jguyer/>
