Re: TAMEd XY4: Right fonts, wrong place

Okay,
I have to admit that I'm using Word now to finish the writing of my book.
It is still a royal pain, but I like the onscreen look. I tried NB 8, but
still found it susceptible to crashes and there was the problem of not
being able to use the alt keys as I'd like to.
Just got a notice from them of the pre-release of NB 9. Looks like the only
upgrade is in features I haven't been using. I.e., improvements to ibidem
and orbis.
