Liz,

Give v1.54 a try, and see if it works any better for you.

Yup, NICE :D Thank you.

Output is there, column resizing is working great, except not available on the keymap sheet.
I checked few things in every look&feel mode, checked more about external functions and device combiner, and nothing bad jumps out, certainly not on any visuals.

Well, maybe this: when a cell is being edited and you click outside the cell, for instance on Notes, or another document, the focus stays with the cell and you might type a novel in there and only resizing of the RM window or clicking on a different tab makes it possible to activate another cell. I'm not too clear on how this works or whether it's a bad feature. But it's nice to be able to start changing OBC with just one click.

This zip file didn't include images, so I was greeted by on-screen long list of errors. The log still contains unrelated errors, similar to yesterday, but I'm ignoring it under the theory that it makes no difference since stuff works.

That should only happen if you entered an illegal value.

I actually don't like the "single-click puts the cell in edit mode" behavior. It makes it impossible to start a multi-cell selection in that cell using the mouse. Try it starting in the Notes or Hex column, then try it starting in the EFC or OBC column. You can still do selection using the keyboard (press escape to stop edit mode, then shift-arrows to grow the selection).

Also note that you can start typing into a cell when it is just highlighted, not actually in edit mode. Whatever you type will replace the current content. If you want to put the cell in edit mode without using the mouse, just press the escape or insert keys.

I've been meaning to pull the images and maps out for a while, since they are so closely tied to the RDFs. Finally did it. That has made the .zip file significantly smaller. v1.53 was 2,125,047 bytes, v1.54 is only 498,472 bytes.
