Blurry Excels and inconvenient result formatting in Prime 7

Hi

I'm converting my Mathcad 15 sheets to Prime 7 and while making this change I have noted that Excel components in Prime are blurry, so it is difficult to see subscriptions in a table. (Example picture as attached)

Is there some way to increase sharpness in these Excel components?

 

I also have another question about Prime. In Mathcad 15 it was possible to scroll down vectors,

but with Prime the results are shown in impractical way. Is possible to get similar result visualization as could be used with Mathcad 15 (Picture as attached)?

 

Thanks for any advice.

1. Maybe choosing a different font for your variables could help to sharpen their display. Give it a try.

 

2. Oh Prime's user interface is so intuitive...Everybody loves it!

If you click on the very right spot (arrow 1), on, or just next to, those 3 dots, the little overview appears. Then you can (arrow 2) move the slider to see exactly what you want... unless the array is huge, in which case positioning to the desired range becomes a nightmare.

I run with a high resolution on a laptop.  I also work with nested arrays a lot.   Trying to select the 3 dots is hard enough on its own, without getting into the difficulties of expanding nested arrays.

 

It wouldn't be so bad if, say, the positioning cursor responded to a keyboard's keys such as the cursor keys, PgUp, PgDn, Home and End, plus allowing mouse wheel scrolling.   Also allowing "E" and "C", for example, or "+" and "-", to expand and to contract the array, respectively; maybe even put grow handles on the positioning box.

I also find that I can't expand some nested arrays, as the parent array doesn't want to expand!

 

Cheers,

 

Stuart
