Hi

Just wanted to say that 960 extension works like a charm.

Well, you have to have knowledge in html/css, otherwise it is hard to know what is happening. 

 

Thank you for this wonderful extension. 

Works as stated

November 13, 2010 by Howard Walker Walker

At first I could not find the extension, but after branislov mirkov (thanks a lot)told me to press ctrl + F2 it appeared along with lots of other things. Perhaps I should have used CS4 more during my 3 years of ownership. The cells appear and generally do what they say they do. Could be useful after further investigation. Great for a free extension.
