Just started using PCStitch 10 and have to say I really like it so far. However, there is one useful detail I can't figure out. How can you get the symbols displayed in the floss palette window to tell you what floss number they match? Another post in this forum would seem to suggest that when you mouse over the symbols the floss color pops up, but mine does not. Just in case, I have closed and re-opened the program as well as rebooted my computer. I do have other (non-stitching) programs who have this type of 'pop up' component, so I'm pretty sure it's not my computer settings.

Is there a setting in PCStitch 10 to make this happen? I have gone through the tutorials and searched the other posts as well as the help file, but do not see this referenced one way or the other.

It would be SUPER helpful to coordinate the color number with the symbol at a glance, especially since the "available colors" window doesn't give you a symbol (I understand why, I think, since the user can change the symbol manually)

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Sorcha,

It's not a "pop-up" that gives the floss number and description when you hover over the floss palette (usually at the bottom - below the pattern. It shows up in the bottom bar BELOW the floss palette. The same thing when you hover over the stitches. It's on the left side with the column and row indicators for the stitch are on the right side.

I don't have access to a picture site to give you an example of it.
