Hi, Lea - The suggestions I'm trying out now were 1) to create a table anchor format paratag to span across columns, 2) use a plugin. I think Rick's TableCleaner will help me automate a lot of the formatting. Terrif is just an editorial comment by me. ;) Bestest, Jack DeLand

Speaking as a newbie, but also more than 40 years old, I really like the interface. The black on gray makes the menus and such usable but unobtrusive, and I like the fact that I can control the illumination. It's still hard to learn (I made a few stabs with FM8), but seems much improved to me.
