Looks very good. Good use of 2D examples to 
represent value rank.

It's p.. that's deriv/int.

Possibly,
 - move footnotes under Searches in a sidebar 
   over the empty space in Selections (making it narrow and tall)
 - in the vacated space put Operations on Ordered Sets
 - add monad = to it

Similarly,
 - trade places Partition footnotes and Insert/Gerunds 
   (possibly with Format)

Partitions are less frequently used than other things
on this page, so they could be moved to the bottom,
with their footnotes facing them sidewise.
Then the maths stuff will be at top-right.

Then Rank/Matrix Ops could be swapped with Tig/Calculus
to be closer to Adverbs and Conjunctions.


What you could to in Word is reformat all text using
Styles as opposed to direct fonts -- you need only 2-3 styles,
Bold, Italic can be overlayed over styles directly.
Then you can experiment with different font/size combinations
applying at once to the whole text:
  - Lucida Console 7pt / Lucida Bright 7pt
  -        ???         / Arial 7pt

The fixed size example code would be better in size 7pt
for current 8pt Times, and corresponding 7pt Arial, etc..

Maybe multi-storied tables could be 0.5-1 point 
less then the base font size.


Also style can be applied to tables to set the border
width, e.g. thinner 0.5pt or so.
