The problem with the editor is that each preview messes up the source code with maple tags and does not return to the source mode. It is a nuisance to disable javascript each time I go to Maple Primes and re-enable when leaving. Or I would need a "dedicated" browser with javascript disabled for this purpose?

Let me be more precise: the view of the "historical archive" is being affected. Yes, I could use a text browser and look at the code, but I do not like much this idea and I think that the majority of users do not either.

So, what about this problem with the generation of gif files?

as I am waiting since August 2005 that the problem of not receiving notifications be solved for me...

I think, because the problem with the math images is not an issue of the maple tag (or the browser) but of the conversion "on the fly" of the source text (that between maple tags) to gif files. So it affects also a substantial fraction of the "historical archive" of  Maple Primes.

The description of the Spread Package (?Spread) is not very helpful either, but using Matrix input it is not so bad:

with(Spread):
M:=<<seq(i,i=1..6)>|<seq(i^2,i=1..6)>>:
CreateSpreadsheet(prueba);
SetMatrix(prueba,M):

I have worked out the x^2 example with this kind of tables (never did before). Yes, the documentation is not very helpful and the whole procedure is a bit clumsy to my taste.

Anyway, it generates a piece of XML code. Eg, once saved the worksheet with this table, I have made a copy of this mw file, and edited it removing the part of the XML code that seemed related to this table. Thus I have got a worksheet without this table.

Hence, it seems posible, in principle, to use an XML editor, or the  XML Tools package to manipulate this stuff. It would be much better, though, if  programatic tools  designed for  manipulation of these  tables  were  provided.

May be because the communities of those users familiar with CAS and those ones familiar with spreadsheets are rather disjoint?

None of the posts on the second page of this blog are properly linked.

with the behavior of this editor. Playing with source mode with maple tags  I had to copy the source to another editor as a previewing upsets them. And it has had sometimes an unpredictable behavior. Eg there was a period when pressing "space" did not added a space before two or three pressings for me. I do not see this behavior right now. May be that it is being fine-tuned.

the bottom of a post and the heading of the next one use to occur now. This is inconvenient as it reduces the lines of text visible within a screen and requires more screens to browse a full thread. 

The version of Sun Java installed here is 1.6.0. Presumably Maple should not use this "external" Java.

A thing to try (though might be useless in this case) is test for dependency problems using eg  Dependency Walker.

With exactly the same configuration (2GB RAM, Win XP Pro SP2)  Standard GUI  starts  here in Maple 9.03 and 9.52 with the replacement for the executable, in Maple 10.06 with launch.ini including maxheap=800m and in Maple 11.02 without doing anything.

By the way, I am seing this formula perfect in text form using Elinks, a text browser.

It could be another workaround...
