Agreed Santiago. In my experience with novice users, they almost always get the meaning of Boolean operators exactly wrong. They tend to think of it like they would speak it: "I want Red and Blue", meaning they want all the Red and all the Blue, not things that are both Red and Blue. On Mon, Aug 25

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for the tip - it wasn't really even on my radar. When I looked at the time video, it seemed like you have to do a lot of clicking around to enter some time.

For me a winning feature in FW is the ability to create symbols. It isn't hugely intuitive on how to create them, but once you have they're really nice as you can create, for example, a radiobutton symbol with a label.
