- The Table of Contents is arranged sequentially and you cannot locate

- About the new (for FW4) requestor: the old series of menues allowed an
- on-line search through the menues when you needed some feature. RMB would
- bring up the menu bar and allow you to move your pointer over the Text
- option to drop that sequence of choices down the screen. Dragging the
- pointer down the Text Menu would then display the options, when
- available, for each item on the list. Drag far enough and you stumble
- across super/subscript (and where, by the way, did the keyboard shortcuts
- go?) options. All with but ONE keyclick and a little navigation.
