Thanks for the nice write-up of the software! There are two things I noticed in the paragraph of stuff that bothers you that I might be able to help you out with.<br /><br />1. The "jerky" editing you refer to is very likely the typewriter editing mode, which does ship as a default in full screen mode. Once you know what it is doing it can be less annoying---it's basically just trying to act like a typewriter, where the line you are working on is kept in one place in the middle rather than being anywhere on the screen. However it does work a whole lot better when you are just writing non-stop, rather than doing a lot of jump edits. You can turn this feature off in the Tools/Options window, under Editor. I'm not 100% on that, this is where it used to be, but I'm on my Mac at the moment and can't double-check. If it's not there, try right-clicking in full screen and see if the option is listed in the contextual menu.<br /><br />2. Referencing more than one document in full screen: you are correct the editor cannot be split in full screen. A good way of working is fully taking advantage of the History feature. It works just like a web browser. As you click on stuff to view them, they are stored in the history so you can get back to them easily, and this works in full screen as well. You'll need to use the Ctrl-[ and ] keyboard shortcuts to do that. So what I do when I know I need to work in more than one document in full screen is click on the sequentially to load them into the history list, and then go into full screen. They also get remembered if you use that little "Go To" button in full screen, but I find the binder to be easier when I know what I want before I go in for a long session.Ioa Petra'kahttp://www.literatureandlatte.com/noreply@blogger.com
