I know the answer to this one, as I have had the same problem and just figured it out. Once you have drawn a block and added color to it, save it in the sketchbook. Now view the sketchbook and click the blocks tab. You will probably see your block with no color. click on this block, then click the right pointing arrow at the bottom of the sketchbook box. This will go thru all your color combinations.
As for your other questions, I have been trying to figure this out too, so I will be watching this thread. I was recently told by someone at a quilt show the EQ7 is totally different from EQ5, so since I have just gotten back into using EQ5, I have decided not to upgrade to EQ7.
