Prime 4.0 label styles (bug?)

I'm wondering if other users can confirm this issue.  Upon switching to 4.0 it has become difficult to get MC to define a custom unit.  I occasionally had problems in 3.0/3.1 - but nothing like this.  It only works about 10% of the time.  I can paste custom units from another file and they work, but can't define new ones with the label styles menu.  Also having similar issues with defining constants or functions.

I don't see this problem. Are you running the new bugfix version of 4.0 (M010)?

 

Edit: I think I understand the problem. You are trying to change the label using the math formatting, but that is not the right place to do it. Go to the math tab, and change the label there. On the formatting tab you can change the way a particular label (e.g. units) looks, but you can't change the label itself.

If I select ppx, and use the math formatting to select, for example, unit, that does nothing to ppx. It shouldn't. It defines what the formatting of units look like, not whether ppx is a unit.

Hi,

 

Hmmmm...I could do all this with my MP4.0.

(see attached File)

What is the difference in the worksheets between mine and yours?
