    To be able to save worksheets in the 7 preceding file formats:

    Prime 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 & Mathcad 15

    That 'll make a lot of people happy.

    I count my blessings and will not wish for save to Mathcad 11.

      This little label error not solved yet. (automatic label instead of function label for min)

      I reported that once and actually got a response.  It isn't an 'error' per se.  It's an actual decision.  The logic being that min is both a function and a unit (minutes).  Now, I'd think it'd be a simple matter for the program to realize which one it is and change the font accordingly.

      While this is just a minor annoyance, the explanation with function vs. unit is not conclusive, not logical  for me.

      "min" shows up in italics as a variable, not as a function and not as a unit. Whats the logic behind this actual decision? Is it something like "We don't know if its a function or a unit, so lets make a joke and confuse the user and show it as a variable" ?

      Furthermore the result is correct, so obviously Prime "knows" that min is meant as function here and correctly acts accordingly. There is no reason for displaying it like a variable. So I still see that quite as a bug, but just as a small, negligible one, as it affects only the presentation/display and not the functionality. Unfortunately, the auto-label feature of Prime has a few grosser inconsistencies to offer and is often wrong enough in a way that seriously compromises functionality. These errors are usually quite hard to find, as a wealth of inquiries here in the forum show.
