Notebook provides what-you-see-is-what-you-get interface according to my knowledge.
Is there a way to show procedure code from a notebook?

I have another situation with displaying figure in notebook. My IGOR is running in two operating system -OSX and Windows.
The display of the figures in the notebook are subjected to what operating system I used. I found it very inconveniences.
I have to do copy and paste to recover the display of figure while I switch to other OS sharing the same IGOR file.
Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks!

Thanks! But I cannot find such option to convert the figure If I copy-paste to notebook from macro-graph.
I don't see the figure which I just pasted in notebook showing in the windows of "Misc-->Pictures..." for the conversion.

In additional, I don't want to convert the figure from macro-graph into non-linkable figure.
I love the function where I can click the figure from the notebook and instantly link to my macro-graph.
Any advices?

Don't worry now. I found a way to fix it. Thank you very much...
To fix it...
Using "Update selection" on the blank figure. It would be better if it run automatically.

For the topic, does anyone know there is such option to see the procedure code of notebook?

Just before you save the notebook, do this:

Edit->Select All

Notebook->Special->Convert to PNG...

Now the graphics will be visible on both Macintosh and Windows.

You can't do this on the "other" OS; you have to do it on the one which pasted the graphic in.

It worked.
By the way, how the notebook created is not the same as a macro-graph created?
For example, I would like to change the title of my notebook. How do I do it?

When the notebook has focus (is the top window) select Window Menu > Control > Window Control. You can change the Notebook name and/or title in the dialog that will pop up. This dialog can be accessed with Control-Y key combination.
