I tried it, but didn't find the answer > easily :) I would say you did not try hard enough. :) I went to http://orgmode.org/manual/index.html and searched for "stars" to get the answer to the first questions, and searched for "checkboxes" to get the answer for the second.

Of course, you may also find the tutorials[1], FAQ[2] and Worg[3] also useful. 1. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.php 2. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php 3. http://orgmode.org/worg/ Welcome again. -- Manish _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
