Can't we do something like this: Add a button with a "?"-Pixmap to toolbar, which is disabled by default. If you click it, it stays clicked unless you click again (like Small Caps). I think this is easy to understand even for bloody beginners. I don't like the idea to turn the Hints on by default, because they are rather big and cover parts of the dialog. And therefore I think we shouldn't move the option to preferences. Juergen. > Angus
