Don't know how many of you get the daily e-mail from PTC Knowledge Base notification, listing the new TANS, workarounds etc.. It usually lists 2 to 5 items. Todays email listed about 500+ items, more than I could count. I found that peculiar. It looks like they closed a lot of items and are going to live with the workaround, or solve in later release.

Can any one help me to get the price of Square tube of 2.5 inches in USA.ThanksRam

According to the replies and to tech support this cannot be done. Whenyou insert a new row, it copies the default text style not the rowbefore it. One suggestion is just to create a table text style and setthat to be default before inserting the row. Oh well...I guess I willjust have to live with it. Eric
