It is actually were rare that I co-work with geeks and I am very lucky if I have someone willing to open file in lyx, not to talk about recognizing what various buttons on toolbar might mean. If I set all things (e.g. set CT on) and ask just for simple editing operations I have some chance to go with lyx... I am not far fetching things but I understand that my experience is actually hard to transmit if your usuall colleagues are computer scientist in their 30s or similar. > principle of least surprise: it is not clear for a new user that this is > a purpose of the button.

I am not toolbar person and always used menu for toggling, it might be that toolbar buttons are completely screewed without me noticing :) Before you started this thread it felt natural that CT on/off state should be document setting and not otherwise. How other office packages deal with this? Pavel
