What is it that determines when the column of EA numbers appear and not.
Sometimes, they appear as the extra column next to the normal size column. It
doesn't appear consistent. In any case, see my Experiment #1 why this isn't

It looks like this may be my only solution. I'll try that next if the response
to my Experiment #1 is unsuccessful.
