Short list for now:
1) right-clicking on non-table, non-image page surfaces in Composer allows access to Page Properties/Colours; in Editor you have to access those via the Format menu.
2) table properties in Composer allows background images for tables to be selected; in Editor this is only background colour
3) table properties in Composer also allows for creating cells which span more than one row; Editor can combine/split horizontally-related cells, but not vertically-related ones...
4) in Composer there's a taskbar button for "anchor" (named anchor) - this feature is only in Editor as on the "Insert" menu...
5) hmmmm can't think of what else for now but will get back to this later after any responses.....
Is there still any significant developement going on with Editor? It kind of seems like it stopped.
Did you install the cascades extension for css? It is pretty good.
By extensions do you mean a Mac add-on? I'm on Win2k; is what you're talking about applicable, or is it purely a MacOS thing?
