Thanks, Bruce. I probably looked right over half of these. As far as the find bar issue goes, the problem cleared itself up after reinstalling (before, I had the find box and nothing else on that line; now it shows up when I press Ctrl-F, like it's supposed to, and the other icons are there,

Okay, I'll take back part of what I said. I just reinstalled, and the destination option does, indeed, appear. It's just so unobtrusive that I didn't see it the first time. On 10/14/2016 13:01, Dave Liesse wrote: As I might have said when I posted a question about opening a
