I'd still like the bold header names to be right-aligned despite the
examples.  Right-aligned field names next to left-aligned fields are
easier to read.  The other apps get that wrong.

Also the new look is missing page numbers in the footer, which are
essential for printouts.  Maybe you haven't gotten to that yet?

Otherwise I think it looks much improved.  Keep up the good work!
