Version 10.2.2 was a similar touch-up, featuring stability tweaks to Address Book, iChat, 
the built-in firewall, Mail, Print Center, Rendezvous, Sherlock, and file sharing with Windows. 

The 10.2.3 update of January 2003 offered a few more meaningful fixes (plus a long list of 
obscure ones). For example, when you burn CDs destined for use on Windows machines, they're no 
longer cluttered with Mac-specific (and, on the Mac, invisible) files and folders like the 
Desktop folder. Navigating the columnar Open and Save dialog boxes by keyboard behaves more 
like it does in Finder list views. And you can drag documents onto the Print Center program 
icon to print them. (If you drag a folder onto Print Center, you even get a printout of its contents.) Predictably, version 10.2.3 is also compatible with even more CD burners and digital cameras.

147 Just a tip 
 
Add to bottom of sidebar box:
 
Finally, note that you can store frequently used (or frequently admired) colors in the mini-palette 
squares at the bottom. To do that, drag the big rectangular color swatch (next to the magnifying 
glass) directly down into one of the little squares, where it will stay fresh for weeks.

When you find the symbol you want, double-click it to make it appear in your document. 

If you really want to know what font it came from, click the black, down-pointing triangle 
button; you'll see the font name in parentheses. But the Character Palette is so handy, you 
may never need to know.
 
It now reads:
 
When you find the symbol you want, double-click it. 

If you're using a Cocoa program, the correct symbol pops into your document. If not, you may 
get only the correct character, but not in the correct font. In that case, you'll have to 
change the font of the inserted character manually. To find out what font it came from, click 
the black, down-pointing triangle button; you'll see the font name in parentheses.

Cut this paragraph:
 
As noted earlier, this sophisticated surgery occasionally leaves behind a minor glitch here and 
there: peculiar cosmetic glitches, a checkbox that doesn't seem to work, and so on. If that 
possibility concerns you, a clean install is a much safer option. (A clean install does, however, 
require a little more post-installation fiddling to reinstate your settings, especially your 
Internet and network preferences.)

Disk screen, click Options.

 
It now reads:
 

Tip: You can't perform a clean install "upward" from an earlier version of Mac OS X-only from 
10.2. In other words, if you have 10.1 and want a clean, perfect installation of 10.2, perform 
an Upgrade installation first, as described above. Then perform another installation, this one 
a clean one, as described here.

Start by following steps 1-4 that start on page 627. When you come to the Select a Destination 
Disk screen, click Options.
