Hi Jennifer, Excellent choice! I've been using MLO for work and play for years - there's nothing like it.
The quick(ish) and dirty way of doing what you want is to use the Context section of the Filter Pane. Make sure the Operation setting shows a red OR, then click on the (none) context and then shift click on the last context in your list, finally control click on the context you want to exclude. If you use this filter regularly, you can click on the Save View... button. Advanced filtering is one of the most powerful and unique features of MLO. Unfortunately, it has probably never been documented as fully and clearly as it might have been. I don't have time right now to go into it (volunteers?) but don't be deterred from just experimenting - sometimes it's the best way to learn. I suspect that most of the experienced users here have built up their knowledge by doing just that. Hope this helps. Good luck.
