I have maple10 and I'm noticing something that's confusing. I recently played with a couple options from the tools menu, namely (tools -> options) then under the display tab the I played with the input display choices, and under the interface tab I played with the "Default format for new worksheets choices". However for this question I have the input display on 2-D math notation and I'm using worksheet mode as the default for new worksheets. I'm not sure if I applied those choices globally or applied them to the session. I have the italics choice button chosen on the formatting row and also clicked the choice "math" next to a drop down menu full of other lists. The problem is whenever I start typing text it's italicized like I expect, but if I begin a line with a number it's not italicized. The only way I can keep the numbers I type in italics is by combining it with text such as (A1). If I include a space between the text and numbers or use some symbol such as a plus sign (+) for example then the italics option goes away. Dan
