Yep, indeed! But that'll be too late for my exam paper. Bummer!

Wow, do you really need a table of contents for your exam paper? Impressive.

Must be some exam!
I'm working on a series of non-fiction short stories (one was published some years ago) and I don't write them in order, but as I recall them (it's a sort of memoir thing), so I've found Pages TOC feature very handy for inserting each story as a different section and have the TOC update. I know this can be done in Word, but not intuitively. I now do all my writing of new stories in NWE, then copy into the "master" in Pages. Once TOC is added, I won't have to do that.
But I sure don't want to take an exam that's long enough to need a table of contents!
In fact, since I'm a college professor, I also don't want to create one that long - or grade it!

/me remembers the stack of grading from this past semester.... No kidding. Now, if I could just figure out a way to do a multiple choice essay....

A multiple choice essay... that would be beautiful! Philosophy would be so much easier!
Completely off-topic: "/me"... do you play Uru? (could be that other folks besides Uru players use that, but I hadn't seen it before)

I miss the visible section breaks and page breaks in draft view. I wonder whether this was an intentional omission or an oversight?

Autosave option

I am very happy to see the new Preference option in 2.6 (beta 4) that lets users choose to "Autosave only to temporary backup files" instead of having to overwrite existing files. Thank you for implementing this. It makes me feel much more secure.

They should be there... are you sure "show invisibles" is turned on for that document?

The with that view, I could see the section break.
opening templates

It seems that when I open a template file in 2.6b4, modify it and save it, it overwrites the template. That is, rather than opening a template as an "untitled" file, it opens the template itself as a document. I messed up two of my stationary/letterhead templates before I noticed the problem!

Was the box: "open as new file" checked when you open the file.
btw, I LOVE LOVE LOVE, how the b4 opens files to to the place in the file where you left the cursor. when you are working on something, that is where I want to go back to.

No, it wasn't. I turn invisibles on and off and never realized that the section breaks were considered invisibles -- I guess because they aren't represented in my chosen invisibles color. Thanks for clarifying this.
