Dirty Dick's still exists, but it is in the City of London, opposite the east side of Liverpool St Station, near Petticoat Lane Market (Middlesex St), not in East London. A bit of a tourist attraction, but the beer is good - or it was on the several occasions I visited it.

You've got it, Albert. Quite a clever little equation, isn't it?

Unless you do the right hand side of the equation first, then the answer becomes 230-110=120.

Which is correct = 5!, as Mr Cheetham says. Jack will explain. Perhaps Mr C should end his sentences with a full stop.

Agreed, Robert. She was a great lady.

I believe Charles, in his way, will also be a memorable monarch. Long live the King!

When you first import an Excel file it will become a Table in PagePlus and you will be able to add rows. However if it is then converted into a PDF file from PagePlus, the Table will be not be retained as a table, but will become separate text frames if the PDF version is opened in PagePlus. No doubt that is what has happened.

It would be worth keeping the Excel version, modify it as necessary in Excel, and re-import into PagePlus as required. Excel handles tables (spreadsheets) rather better than PagePlus.

That does not appear to be a table cell that is selected, just a text frame. If it were a table cell, it would show the cell labels,  numbers at left and letters at the top, as in illustration here:

What does the Hint Line tell you?

I suspect that at some time you have created a PDF version of the file, and opened that in PagePlus rather than the original. Saving that version would overwrite the original if you did not give it a new name.

Can you right-click on the table and insert rows from that menu?

Bear in mind that at that time, the Germans had launched thousands of V1 towards London, and had begun sending V2s as well. About a dozen V1s and a V2 landed within a mile of my home, three of them within a quarter mile, so any strike against any Germans at that time was not questioned.

...also .. pronouncing Le Harve correctly

But not how to spell it! smile

The destruction of Le Havre was a sad affair. It helped with its liberation, but was it really necessary at that stage of the war?

Cracked it, messing around with the number format settings.

That's it. Under Format/Page Number Format make the First Page Number 0 (zero). Only positive page numbers appear on the pages - zero and negative numbers do not.

I assume you have the page numbering on the Master Page. Perhaps on the odd pages you have enlarged the contents (eg the text frame) to cover the page numbering. Possible solutions, if this is the case, is to make the fill of the text frame transparent, or ensure, in the Layers tab, that the Master Layer is on top.

Just you, I think Vicki! Resource Manager opens up OK for me. Perhaps you need a Reset.

My e-mail provider has a means of blocking unwanted mail. Under Settings, there is a sub-head Spam Settings where you can list senders you wish to ban. You will see the true sender of the email if you right-click the email and choose Show Source. Here's an extract from my list:

Note the use of the wildcard *.

Or you could obtain Mailwasher, https://www.mailwasher.net/ which I have used in the past, and is excellent.

That sounds a like a quirk with Win 11. I do not know of any way to change the size if the buttons on toolbars in DrawPlus. I do not have Win 11 - there is not a problem in Win 10 or earlier. Is there a Win 11 forum?

If you think that's clever, how about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg0FQCTFCmI?

Not having any talent for playing any instrument, I've always been fascinated by mechanical music, such as fairground organs and orchestrions. There are many examples on YouTube. I never did get around to visiting the museum in Thursford https://www.thursford.com/steam-museum/, where Mr Cushing has many working examples.
