Hm. I don't get anything with a right click anywhere on the screen.
Really? That's very strange. How do you set colors specific for specific things, then? In other words, when I have a defined block of bolded text, for example, I can right click on it and set colors specific to that MoDe and condition (defined).
Also, are you using the ability to show bold, italics, underline, etc. as they are (i.e., in actual bold, actual italics, etc.)?
No, Harry. I didn't fully set up TAME for colors and underlining etc., just used XY's native screen conventions. Truth is, I have not gone under the TAME hood in a long time. I've been using NB for a while now because it's a lot less trouble to move back and forth with RTF for student work. Also it took a lot of time to translate my most recent book from XY to Word; my fault because I'd never really learned Word formatting conventions. A while back Robert suggested that NB was the future of XY, and now I agree. They're working on a 32-bit version so the program can run on W7-64. Also Robert's NB on a stick made it easy to work on any WIN machine anywhere. I still have the toes of one foot in the XY pond, but I'm getting deeper and deeper into the other program.
