My comment is that when text is truncated it should have a termination to indicate that (...) or some flag somewhere so that we can, say, replace the last visible character with ... or an image; imagine having 2 words in a cell and the text truncated so that only the first word is visible, there's a good chance to not know of the existence of the second one. Also now I see the need for being able to select only one cell in list mode as an option. > > regards, > > Geoff > > _______________________________________________ > metacard mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard -- ____________________ Regards, Andu Novac _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
