Bug where Up and Down commands that moved the first row in a grid could break a derived answer.
Drop down box in Math screen that was sometimes showing an unwanted second column.
Problem where in some cases a compound condition could not be created when multiple clauses of the condition referred to a checkbox-choice-type answer. h/t: Paul Keller, Austin, TX; Gregory Picken, North Palm Beach, FL; Paul Saunders, Halifax, NS, Canada;
Version 2.0
5.28.2014
Doxserá 2.0 adds powerful new features and functions that for the first time allow a document to reach outside of itself to access, search, and select text to include within itself.
