Page Index
all of the Index

The Index does not reference the correct page numbers. For instance, when looking up "form controls" in the Index, it references pages in the 30s when in fact the information is on pages in the 70s.

Note from the Author or Editor:
This is true. The index has errors. Another example: "top/bottom rules" are nowhere to be found on page 15.

pg. 69 - Tip box; pg. 70 - 1st paragraph

The Tip box on pg. 69 states that you cannot edit a saved (Custom) theme; however, there are instructions at the top of pg. 70 about how to edit a theme.

What am I missing?

last sentence of 2nd paragraph

In order to select a Growth Trend option, you must drag the fill handle with the right mouse button.
