You should be able to do the following: 1. Open the math panel and click the insert matrix button. 2. Adjust the size to 3x3, adjust the vertical and horizontal alignment as desired, and click Ok. That inserts an empty matrix. 3. You should be seeing 9 empty cells (outlined in blue) in a 3x3 configuration. You should be able to click into any cell you want, or use the arrow keys to navigate among cells. 4. To enclose in brackets, braces or whatever, highlight the whole matrix and use the appropriate delimiter button from the math panel. I gather this isn't working for you? Can you post a click-by-click description of what you're doing and where it goes south? -- Paul ************************************************************************* Paul A.
