Here, for example, is help-file speak that is meaningless to me:

"Create the Flag toolbar by tearing off (dragging the top part of) the Flag drop-down item of the Item menu."

In plain language, what the hell does this mean?

I can't find a flag-drop down item. I can't find a diagram in the help file of a tool bar that shows me where I might look for it.

I am sure the answer is simple -- just not simple enough for me, and if it is not simple enough for me I wonder how many other people aren't getting it either?

Jan, thanks.

I have tried that but have a problem.

I set an attribute for red flag and press ok.

The I go into properties again and want to set an attribute for blue flag, but as soon as I change the attribute it now applies to all the other colours.

The help file talks about a flag toolbar that one can expose by ripping it away from something else.

Unfortunately, it is not illustrated, at least not in the part of the help file dealing with flags, so I have spend 20 minutes looking for the flag toolbar (I have also looked under toolbars).

This is the part of software I find crazy making -- help files need to be more helpful, or else change the name of them.
