1Word Processing
Before starting, review
these basic procedures
from the Getting Started
chapter in Book 1:
Working with Documents
Saving Documents
Working with Menus
Working with Dialog Boxes
This chapter explains how to create almost any type of document. It also
explains how to write a form letter and merge it with names and addresses
from Addressbook or Spreadsheet.
Word Processing Tips
To select (or dick on)
an item, p/ace the
on-screen pointer on
the item; then clickon
the Select button or
tap once on the
glidepad.
Glidepad
surface
Selectbutton(left
buttononamouse)
Dragbutton(right
buttononamouse)
For word wrap to work properly, press ENTER only at the end of a
paragraph, never at the end of every line. If you press ENTER at the
end of every line, and later change something, the words will not
wrap smoothly.
Use TAB rather than the SPACEBAR to align text. If you use TAB to
set the spacing between text, then you can Simply change the
measurement of the tab space to change the location of a column.
Type only one space after a period or colon. When using a
typewriter,_you enter two spaces after a period or colon because of
--the spacing-o'_e typ_ewdtet:characters.
Use italic style text rather than underline for book tides. Typewriters
do not have italic font style available, so your only option is to
underline book tides. Word Processing provides italic and bold type
styles and other typographical features of typeset printing.
Since an en dash (-) and em dash (--) are available on the symbols
keyboard, use them rather than multiple hyphens. (See Using Special
Characters and Symbols on page 12.)
Use bullets for denoting lists such as this list of tips. (See Using
Special Characters and Symbols on page 12.)
You can undo almost anything. The most important thing to
remember about undoing a mistake is that you can undo only the
last action.

Working with Text
This section explains how to enter, move, copy, and edit text. It also
describes how to insert characters and symbols, change text style and format,
use tone in text, and search for and replace text.
-Entering Text.
Toswitch in and

button at the
bottom left comer
of the screen, INS
(INS is selected by
default).
The recommended method for entering text described in this manual is called
Insert mode, in which typed characters push all existing characters to the
right.
Insert mode is recommended because you will not lose any text as you type.
If you want typed characters to replace the characters to the right of the
insertion point, turn the Insert mode off.
Word wrap means that you do not have to press ENTER (the Return key on
a typewriter) to start a new line of text. As you type, the words appear in the
text area. As words reach the end of a line, they automatically continue on
the next line.
The in.,erti.on poim is the b"linking vertical line that shows where typed
characters appear on the screen. On a blank page, the insertion point appears
in the upper left comer. As you type, the insertion point moves to the right,
appearing after the last word. To make changes to something you have
already typed, move the insertion point anywhere in the text. You cannot
move the insertion point to an area where there is no text unless you use
SPACEBAR, TAB, or ENTER.

like a typewriter font. It is mootospaced: every character uses the same
amount of space. The other fonts are proportionally spaced., the space
taken by a character is relative to the character's width. For example, the letter
i uses less space than w.

hyphen (-) and line break and wraps the rest of the word to the next line.
Word Processing provides hyphenation settings that you can change. Note
that some hyphenation can make a document easier to read, while too much
hyphenation can make words harder to recognize and make the page look
cluttered.

Using Page Breaks
ffyou have multiple
columns inyour
document, a page
break is the same as
a column break.
Page Break also
appears in the Insert
Special submenuof
the Editmenu.
Word Processing treats the text in a document as one continuous flow of
information. Whenever you insert or delete text or graphics in a document,
Word Processing automatically calculates the location of page breaks and
column breaks and inserts them accordingly. Automatic page breaks are
called softpage breaks because their location changes depending on the
amount of information in a documenL You can force a page break manually
by inserting a bardpage break. Do this whenever you want to start a new
page in a specific location.
ll_To insert a hard page break:
1. Place the insertion point where you want the hard page break.
2. Press CTRL +ENTER. Word Processing inserts thepage break.
To delete a page break:
1: Select Show Invislbl_._ from the Options menu (if not already selected).
The page-break markers ¢*)become viable.
1. Double-click on the page break marker you want to delete.
2. Press DELETE. Word Processing removes the page break, recalculates
pagination, and redraws the screen.
Managing Columns
You can have multiple columns of text in a document, just like those you see
in a newspaper or a magazine. By default, a document has just one column
of text. When you specify multiple columns, text flows from the bottom of
one column to the top of the next.
Word Processing 29
To set up multiple columns, specify column options in the Page Setup dialog
box (from the File menu). When you set multiple columns, specify the
number of columns, the gutter (or spacing) between columns, and the width
of any vertical rule(s) (the lines in between the columns). Word Processing
initially calculates a uniform column width for all columns based on the
number of columns, the spacing between columns, the size of the page, the
page orientation, and the page margins.
The following sample document shows the result of setting the column
characteristics:
Thedistancebetweencolumns
is 0.25 inches. Theverticalruleis 2 pointswide.
The columnsettingis Ihres.
l_ To set or change the columns:
1. Place the insertion point in the document.
2. Select Page Setup from the File menu. A dialog box appears.
3. Fill in the dialog box:
Columns. Select the number of columns.
Spacing. If you have more than one column, select the distance
between columns (as well as the relative column width). Spacing is
the same between all columns. By default, this setting is 0.125 inches;
you can increase this up to 1.0 inch.
Rule Width. To place avertical rule, select the width of avertical
rule. By default, this setting is zero (0) points, or no vertical rule; you
can increase this up to 9 points.

Using column breaks
To force Word Processing to move text to the top of the next column, press
CTRL + ENTER to insert a hard page break and create a new column.
Using Text Style Sheets
Astyle is a collection of text and paragraph formats under a common name.
Atext style sheet is the set of all the named text styles used in a document.
Styles help ensure a
consistentlook to
your text. They also
make it easier to
changea document
because changing a
styleautomaUcally
updates all the
paragraphs withthat
style.
You can record the following attributes in a text style:
Text attributes, including character font, text size, text style, text tone,
and character width and height.
Paragraph attributes, including alignment, spacing, line spacing,
indentations, tabs, and paragraph spacing.
Styles allow you to apply a group of attributes to text all at once. For
example, if you want the headings in your document to be centered and
bold, create a style to automatically center and bold them; then apply that
style to heading text. Without a style, you would have to manually center and
bold each heading .....
Using default styles
Word Processing provides three styles. Use them as is or as a starting point
for creating your own custom styles:
Normal. The base style for text that comes with Word Processing.
Header. A standard style for the header of a document.
Footer. A standard style for the footer of a document.

5. Click on the window control button in the top left comer to close the
dialog box.
Storing and recalling text attributes tempor=;rily
You can temporarily store the text and paragraph attributes from one
,paragraph and then apply them to another without first creating a named
style. To do so, use Store Style. While named styles are saved with your
document, graphic styles that you record with Store Style are not saved when
you exit Word Processing.
To store the text attributes:
1. Select a paragraph with the attributes you want to store.
2. Select Text Style Sheets from the Paragraph menu. Asubmenu appears.
3. Select Store Style from the submenu. Word Processing remembers the
attributes of the selected paragraph.
To recall the text attributes:
1. Select one or more paragraphs that you want to apply the stored
attributes.
2. Select Text Style Shee_ from the Paragraph menu. A submenu appears.
-3. Select R-ecall Style-_m-th-_ submenu. Word Processing applies the saved
attn'butes to the selected text.
Defining a new style
You can add a new style to the style sheet by giving it a name and defining
its attributes. A base sty/e is a style on which other styles depend; these
styles are variations on the base style. If you change an attribute in the base
style, all dependent styles will change except those that define the attribute
uniquely.
For example, suppose you define a style called Head Level 2 using another
style, Head Level 1, as its base style. If you add bold to Head Level 1, the text
in Head Level 2 becomes bold. Word Processing updates all text in either
style with the new attributes.
Alternatively, you can define a style so that its unique attributes change
relative to changes in the base style. For example, if you set margins in Indent
Level 2 relative to Indent Level 1 its base style, and you increase the left
margin in Indent Level 1 by 0.25 inches, Word Processing increases the left
margin in Indent Level 2 by 0.25 inches as well.
Word Processing 32
You can also define
a new style without
using a base style.
Word Processing
uses _e default
attributes or the
attributes of.
selected text as the
staring point.
Once you have defined
a style to appear on the
Basic Functions tool bar,
use this button to apply
a style to selected text.

Changing styles
l_ To define a new style:
1. Select a paragraph for which you would like to change the style. Word
Processing uses the attn'butes in the selected (or base) style to define the
initial attn'butes of the new style. (You can also start out with no text
selected, using the default text and paragraph attributes.)
2. Change the format of the paragraph to your desired style.
3. Select Text Style Sheets from the Paragraph menu. A submenu appears.
4. Select Define New Style from the submenu. A dialog box appears.
Description. Shows a description of the selected style, which

appears first, then any changes you have made to character and
paragraph formatting.
Display in Tool Bar Pop-Down List. Select whether the style
appears in the Tool Bar Pop-down list on the Basic Functions tool
bar. By default, this option is selected.
Apply to Selection Only (Character Style). Select whether you
want to apply the style attributes to selected text only or to the entire
paragraph.
Point Size Relative. Select to make the point size relative to the
point size of the base style. Changing the point size in the base style
changes the point size in the current style by the same amount.
Margins Relative. Select to make the margins relative to the margins
of the base styleT.Changing the' margins in the base style changes the
margins_in the current style by the same amount.
Leading Relative. Select to make the leading (or line spacing)
relative to the leading of the base style. Changing the leading in the
base style changes the leading in the current style by the same
amount.
• Name. Type a new style name. You can use letters, numbers, and
spaces. For example, you could call a style Chapter Name.
5. Click on Define New Style. Word Processing applies the new style to the
selected text or paragrapb.
6. Click on Close.
You can change a style two ways: by changing its attributes (text size,
paragraph spacing, and so on) or by changing the attributes of its base style
(point size relative, margins relative, and so on). If the style serves as the base
style for other styles, changes can affect those dependent styles as well.

Use master pages to specify information that repeats on each page of a
document. For example, you might want a logo to appear on every page.
The maatarpage is a prototype of how text and graphics appear on every
page. The master page defines the header and footer, the area where the
body text appears on a page, and graphics (such as a logo) that repeat on
every page. The illustration at the left shows a typical master page designed
with three columns.
When you add a page, Word Processing uses the layout and information in
the master page to create the new page. Once created, you can change the
document to suit your needs without affecting the master page.
If you specify two pages in Page Setup (left and right), the document will
have two master pages: one for the left and one for the right.

You can create a graphic image within Word Processing using the tools on
the Drawing, Bitmap, or Graphics tool bar. That way, you can create a
drawing without leaving your document. When creating graphics in Word
Processing, select Show Tools from the Options menu; then click on Drawing
Tools.
You can add a graphic frame (a rectangle with a simple border around it)
anywhere on a page. You can paste graphics into a graphic frame, change its
appearance, and control how it fits in the text. You can also paste graphics
into a document without using a graphic frame.
Word Processing 38
Using Frames for Graphics and Text
Agraphic frame is a rectangle that frames text or graphics. You can fill a
graphic frame with tone and paRems, change the tone and thickness of its
border, and make text wrap around it, wrap inside it, or even flow right
through it. You can also resize, move, and delete a graphic frame.

footnotes, a table of contents, and a bibliography.
usingFootnotes
Afootnote is a reference or explanation that appears at the bottom of the

or publication or clarifies a point.
A footnote has two parts: areference mark in the body and the
accompanying footnote itself, which usually appears at the bottom on the
same page.
Thereferencemarkinthe bodytext

The footnote contains a L___............
matching reference mark. -- -, /
The text is the referent, com_ or explanaUon.
Typically, footnotes are numbered sequentially. If you use numbers for your
reference mark, you must update the numbering sequence manually. A
footnote remains on the page on which you added iL If the text with the
reference mark moves to a different page, you must manually move the
footnote to the new page. For these reasons, it is best to add footnotes
(starting from the front of the documen 0 when your document is nearly

Proofing Your Document
Word Processing provides two proofreading tools. Spell check finds
' misspelled words and typographical errors. The thesaurus finds words with
similar meanings.
Word Processing also lets you create a custom user diaiotm¢3,, which
contains special or unique words or spellings of words. When the diskette
with your user dictionary is in the disk drive, spell check will use both the
system and user dictionary. You can add proper names, special terminology,
or anything else to the user dictionary.
Checking Your Spelling
Word Processing has an electronic spelling dictionary of 114,000 words that it
checks to look for mistakes. When it finds a word that is not in the
dictionary, it displays it in the Check Spelling dialog box and lets you decide
what to do with it.

Merging Information from Other Programs
When you print a Word Processing document, you can merge (combine)
information from other programs. Merging allows you to print form letters,
envelopes, mailing labels, reports, and other types of documents using
information you have already entered instead of typing it again in Word
Processing.
For example, you can send the same document to different people by
merging the different names and addresses into Word Processing.
Merging involves two documents: the data document and the merge
document. The data document is an Addressbook or Spreadsheet document
that contains data (names and addresses) stored in a consistent format. For
example, an Addressbook document might contain the names and addresses
of your friends. The information in the data document gets inserted into
various places (merge fields) in the merge document.
A merge document is a Word Processing document that contains text,
grap_,layouL a_.nd-.fo,z.'2m_atting.It also contains mergefie/ds that m._rk
where Word Processing places the information from the data document.
The easiest way to use the merge feature is to follow this general sequence of
tasks:
To get ready for merging:
1. Create the data document (with names, addresses, etc.) in Addressbook or
Spreadsheet.
2. Create the Word Processing merge document with merge fields for names,
addresses, etc. (See page 54).
3. Copy the information you want to merge from the Addressbook or
Spreadsheet data document to the clipboard. (See pages 55 and 56).
After following the above steps, you are ready to print the merge document.
Word Processing 53
Setting up the Merge Fields
ff appmpKate, consider
using these field
names in Spreadsheet.
That way, you can copy
merge data easily
between both
programs.
The merge document is created in Word Processing, and it contains text,
graphics, formatting, and page layout. It also contains merge fields (for
names, addresses, etc.) that correspond to the information in the data
document. The merge fields have field names, which must match exactly the
field names used in the source data document. These fields are case-sensitive,
meaning they must match uppercase and lowercase exactly. For example, a
merge field with the name Home.Address will not match homeAddress.
Addressbook requires that you use the following field names exactly as they
appear in the merge field (including underscores):
Field Name
Index Field
Addr Field
Note Field
Home
Office
Car
'Fax

Phone 6

Fax phone number.
Addition_ phone number.

Additional phone number.
To add merge fields in a Word Processing document:
1. Place the insertion point where you want the merge field to appear. (It can
appear on a line by itself or embedded in other text.)
2. Press CTRL + MENU + kA double-left bracket appears (<<).
(This identifies the start of the merge field.)
3. Type the field name exactly as it appears in the list on page 54.
4. Press CTRL + MENU + SHIFT + _A double-right bracket appears (>>).
(This identifies the end of the merge field.)
5. If you want, select the character formatting (such as style, size, tone, and
so on) for the field.

When using Addressbook to create a data document for merging information,
you can copy one name or an names in the Addmssbook document to the
clipboard. For this reason, you might want to store the information for
different groups of people in different Addressbook documents. For example,
you might want to keep friends in one Addressbook document and business
associates in another. That way, you can merge and print a personal letter to

Working with Values and Labels
Build a spreadsheet by entering values, labels, andformu/as.
Values. Values are numbers, for example, sales figures for the past four
quarters.
Dates can be entered
as labels or as formulas,
depending on how you
want to us'ethem. See
Entering and Changing
Dates onpage 75.
/abe/.,. Labels are text; they are the titles or descriptive text that describe the
contents of rows and columns, for example, First Quarter, Second Quarter,
Third Quarter, and Fourth Quarter.
Formu/as. Formulas perform calculations, like averaging a list of values.
Spreadsheet contains prewritten formulas called Built-_ Functions; for
example, a built-in function called SUM totals values, such as the sales for all
four quarters.
This section explains how to enter values and labels in a spreadsheet. For
more information about formulas, see Working with Formulas on page 85.
Entering Values and Labels
If you have selected a
range of cells, press
ENTER to move down
columns and press
TAB to move across
rOWS.
I_ To enter values or labels:
1. Select the cell in which you want the entry to appear.
2. Type the entry (numbers or words) in the cell. If you are using the
numeric keypad to enter numbers, besure the NUM LOCK key is on. To
turn it-one click on_theNUM button in the lower left comer of the screen
or press NOM I_OCK. If you make a typing mistake, press BACKSPACE
to erase characters to the left of the insertion point in the Edit Area.
3. Press one of the following keys to complete the entry:
ENTER. Moves the highlighting down one cell.
SHIFT + ENTER. Moves the highlighting up one cell.
TAB. Moves the highlighting to the right one cell.
SHIFT + TAB. Moves the highlighting to the left one cell.
(t X _ X _-- X-*). Moves the highlighting one cell in the direction of
the arrow.
CTRL + ENTER. Keeps the highlighting in the current cell; the active
cell does not change.
You can also complete your entry by clicking on Enter in the Edit bar. In this
case, the highlighting does not move.
Spreadsheet 72
Notes on Entering Labels
If you enter a label wider than the cell, it spills over into the next cell to the
right as long as that cell is empty. If the cell to the right is full, the text
appears cut off. The complete text of the label is stored in the cell, but you
cannot see it unless you make the column wider (see Changing the
Appearance of a Spreadsheet on page 82).
To enter a number as a label or to enter a label that begins with an equal sign
(=), start by typing an apostrophe () or a double quotation mark ('). When
you start an entry with a double quotation mark, the entry appears left
justified and the double quotation mark does not appear. For example, to
enter 1993 as alabel, type "1993. To enter =National Average as a label,
type "=National Average.
Notes on Entering Values
1The Lat._Ml_maeLdk:Jlontt °
If a cell is not wide enough for a numeric value you enter (or for the result of
a formula), the symbol ### appears in the cell, as shown in the illustration to
the left. The value is stored in the cell, but you cannot see it unless you make
the column wider. (See Changing the Appearance of a Spreadsheet on page
82.)
You can enter values between lOqS, zand 10_s,2. All numbers and calculations
are accurate to 15 decimal places. Even when Spreadsheet rounds off a
number-to few er-tharr I5_ecimal places, it uses all 15 decimal places'in
calculations.
Do not enter commas or dollar signs when you enter values, although you
can specify a format that adds commas automatically. (See Changing the
Number Format for Values on page 74.)
You can use any of the following characters in the values you enter:
1234567890+-Ee.
Use E or e to specify scientific notatiofi. For example, to enter 3.75 x 10zs, you
can type either of the following: 3.75e15 or 3.75E15.
Spreadsheet 73
Changing the Number Format for Values
When you enter a value, Spreadsheet automatically shows it in a standard
format; however, you can change the format to suit your needs. The

Entering and Changing Datesand Times _
There are two ways to enter dates and times in your spreadsheet: as labels or
as formulas.
Q
OR
To enter a date or time as a label:
Type the date exactly as you want it to appear. For example, you could type
any of the following:
Jan 15, 1997
January 15, 1997
1/15/97
97-01-15
Type the time exactly as you want it to appear. For example, type 12:00.
Spreadsheet 75
Entering dates and times as formulas
Dates entered as formulas are stored as serial numbers representing the
number of days since January 1, 1900. For example, January 1, 1993 would be
stored as the number 33969.
When a date is stored as a serial number, you can use Spreadsheet to change
its format automatically. You can also use the date in formulas. For example,
you can change Jan 15, 1993 to 1/15/93 without retyping. And you can
subtract May 3, 1990 from June 15, 1991 to determine the number of days
between the two dates (408). To take advantage of these features, first enter
your date as a formula using the built-in DATE function.
Times entered as formulas are also stored as serial numbers. For example, if
you enter =TIME (12,34,23) and press ENTER, Spreadsheet returns 0.523877,
the serial number format of 12:34 and 23 seconds. You can change the format
of the cell to show the time in normal format (12:34:23).
Unless you want the
date or time to appear
inyour spreadsheet as
a serial number,
change the date or
time format. The next
section explains how
to do this.
To enter a date or time as a formula:
1. Select the cell in which you want to enter a date.
2. Type =DATE. The characters appear in the Edit Area.
OR
.
Type =TIME. The characters appear in the Edit Area.
Type an open parenthesis, followed b,y numbers representing the year,
m6nthT-_rid da_ _t'tlae i_e y6_ want to enter. Then, type a close "_
parenthesis. Be sure to type the year, month, and day in that order.
OR
Type an open parenthesis, followed by numbers representing the time.
Then type a close parenthesis. Type the hour, minute, and second in that
order.
4. Press ENTER. The serial number for the date or time appears in the cell.
Spreadsheet 76
Format Formulas
When you enter a date or time value as a formula, Spreadsheet initially
displays a number;, however, you can change the format to suit your needs.
The following table shows the available date and time formats:

Changing the Appearance of a Spreadsheet
You may want to change the appearance of a spreadsheet to improve its
presentation. For example, you might want to emphasize certain aspects with
a different text style or alignment.
This section explains how to do the following:
Adjust the width of columns and the height of rows
Change the alignment of information in cells
Change the text style of information in cells
Adjusting Column Width and Row Height
Sometimes when you enter information, it appears truncated or as ###
because the column is not wide enough. You can change the column width
by dragging the on-screen pointer or by selecting from the Cell menu.
To change the column width by dragging:
1. Move the pointer to the header area at the top of the spreadsheet. When
tbe pointer is over the divider that separates the column letters, it changes to
a double arrow, as sboum in the illustration at lej_.
2. Press and hold the Select button and drag the column divider on the right
side of the column until the column is the width you want.
OR
With the Select button, double-click on the column divider on the right
side of the column to set the column width just wider than the longest
entry in the column. This is the same effect you get if you select Best Fit
from the Cell menu.
Using the menu, you
can adjust column
width and row height
when titles are
locked. However, you
cannot do this for
emire rows or
columns that are
locked.
To change the column width using the Cell menu:
1. Select a cell anywhere in the column whose width you want to change.
2. Select one of the following from the Cell menu;
Narrower makes the column 8 points narrower. The default width is
64 points.
Wider makes the column 8points wider. The default width is 64
points. .
Best Fit makes the column wide enough to fit the widest entry it
contains.

Working with Formulas
Spreadsheet uses
floating point math,
which has benefits such
as speed. But it
produces errors in the
17th or 18th significant
digit. These errors only
become apparent in
some cldculations,
especially when you use
financial functions like
IRR and NPV
Spreadsheet adheres to
the IEEE 754 standards
for floating point
calculations.
Formulas describe calculations you want Spreadsheet to perform. When you
start to use formulas, you see the power of a spreadsheeL Each time you
change the contents of a cell anywhere in your spreadsheet, Spreadsheet
automatically recalculates every formula in the spreadsheet-
Formulas are made up of the following elements:
References to particular cells or ranges like A1 or B12:C18
Operators like +and -for addition and subtraction
• Values like 5, 100, and 0.25
Built-in functions or prewritten formulas built into Spreadsheet
(DATE, SUM, and AVG are built-in formulas)
This section explains how to combine these elements in a formula that
performs a calculation.
Entering Formulas
A I '! c
!Din,e_ I 25.00

Begin a formula by typing =(an equal sign). Next, use references, values,
operators, and built-in functions to describe the calculation you want to
perfomWThe il_stration_at the left shows how you might use a formula to
add expenses.
Cell B4 contains the following formula: --BI+B2+B3
This formula tells Spreadsheet to add the values in cells B1, B2, and B3; and
show the result in cell B4. Here are the elements of this formula:
The equal sign (=) mils Spreadsheet it is a formula. All formulas must
start with an equal sign.
B1, B2, and B3 are references.
The plus signs (+) are operators.
The example above does not include a built-in function, which is a prewritten
formula built into Spreadsheet. For more information about built-in functions,
see page 88.
Spreadsheet 85
)_ To enter a formula:
1. Select the cell in which you want to enter the formula.
2. Type - to begin the formula. The equal sign appears in the Edit Area_
3. Click on the first cell you want to use in the calculation. Tbe cell address
appears in the Edit Area.
4. Type the mathematical operator you want to use. For example, type * for
multiplication (see page 88 for a list of operators).
5. Click on the second cell you want to use. The cell address appears in the
Edit Area.
6. Continue clicking and typing operators until the formula in the Edit Bar
appears as you want it.
7. Click on the Enter button next to the Edit Area. The resu/t of the formula
appears in the cell.
Using References in Formulas
Most formulas
include at least one
reference.
Areference tells Spreadsheet where to look to find the values you want to
use in a formula.
You can use-two types of references in the formulas you create: relative
references and absolute references. Your choice depends on how you
want Spreadsheet to treat the references when you copy or move the formula
from one cell to another:
Relative references
Arelative reference tells Spreadsheet how to find a particular cell starting
from the cell containing the formula, such as: go two rows up and one
column to the right. It is like telling someone how to get to your house from
theirs: go three blocks east and then four blocks south.
Relative references
are cell addresses;
for example, B4,
D8_ and A 1.
When you copy a formula that contains relative references from one location
to another, Spreadsheet adjusts the references in the formula relative to the
new position of the formula. For example, in an annual budget spreadsheet,
you could use a formula with relative references to add the numbers in the
January column; then, when you copy the formula to the columns for
February through December, Spreadsheet adjusts the relative references so
that each formula totals the numbers for the column in which it appears.
Spreadsheet 86
Absolute references
II B r
I'
IsO.OS
An absolute reference tells Spreadsheet the specific address of a ceg. An
absolute reference is like telling someone your exact address: 3628 Sixteenth
Avenue. When you copy a formula from one location to another, Spreadsheet
does not adjust absolute references. Use an absolute reference when you
want to refer to the same cell, regardless of where you may copy the formula
in the spreadsheet. (For detaiis on copying formulas, see page 95.)
For example, when performing financial calculations, you might want to refer
to a specific cell containing an interest rate; for example, 8% in cell B3. When
you want to copy the formula, the reference to cell B3 must not change.
Otherwise each calculation would be based on a different interest rate. To
ensure that all copies of the formula use the value in cell B3, you enter the
absolute reference $1153. (For more information on the financial function, see
Using Built-in Functions in Formulas on page 88. Also see the Appendix for a
listing of the financial functions.)
REFERENCE TYPE

R,4ativerow
To enter an absolute reference, enter the address with a dollar sign before the
column and/or row indicators. B3 is a relative reference. $B$3 is an absolute
reference, with both the column and the row absolute. You can also create
hybrid references making either the column or row absolute and the other
relative, as shown in the table on the left.
Spreadsheet 87
Using Operators in Formulas
Notice that percentage Operators describe the type of calculation you want to perform, for
is a form of example, addition or subtraction. The following table shows the operators
muttip/ication, you can use in formulas.
Touse the
exponentiation
operator, click on the
SYM button to open
the On-screen
Keyboard.
Operator Description Example
%Percentage A14*22%
" Exponentiation 13"3
* and /Multiplication and division A14*B12
+and -Addition and subtraction A14+B12
& Concatenation "Rate "&AI&"%"
FORMULA RESULT
50+100/2 100
(50 + 100)/2 75
When you use more than one operator in a formula, Spreadsheet performs
the calculations in the order shown in the table above; for example, % t'mst, ^
second, and so forth. If you use more than one operator with the same
priority (like +and -), Spreadsheet performs those calculations from left to
right.
Change the order of calculations by enclosing within parentheses those
expressions you want calculated first. Spreadsheet evaluates expressions
enclosed in parentheses first and then uses those results to calculate the rest
of the formula. The rab.le:at-.the left shows some examples.
Using Built-in Functions in Formulas
Built-in functions perform common calculations automatically. Use them in
formulas to simplify your work. For example, the SUM function totals a group
of numbers, and the NPV function computes the net present value of an
investment.
Keywords and arguments
Each built-in function includes a korword like SUM or AVG. Most functions
also require that you specify argument,. Arguments are the values to
calculate, such as the numbers to total using the SUM function.
Spreadsheet 88
To specify arguments, use a list of values, separated by commas and enclosed
in parentheses. If the values are in cells, you can list those cells as the
arguments. For example, to sum the numbers 2, 3, 5, and 6 enter
SUM(2,3,5,6). Or if those numbers are in cells A1, 3_2, A3, and A4, you can
enter one of the following:
SUM(A1,A2,A3,A4) or SUM(AX-A4)
Placeholder arguments
z
When you insert a built-in functionin a cell, you can automatically insert
placeholders for the arguments. These placeholders appear with the function
in the Edit Area. Since each function has different arguments, the
placeholders can help you remember what arguments to enter for a particular
function. After inserting the function, replace the placeholders with the actual
arguments you want to use.
For example, you can insert the AVG function with place.hoMers inside the
parentheses to remind you to enter the values to be averaged. If you insert
the AVG function with placeholders, the following appears in the Edit Area:
=AVG(value 1, value 2, ...)
To use the AVG function to average the'values, for example, in cells A1, A2,
A3, A4, and AS, replace the placeholders with addresses of cells that contain
the values, as in the example below.
_ - _,_. _ _"
=AVG(A1, A2, A3, A4, A5) or =AVG(AI-,_,5)
You may also enter the numbers themselves instead of the cell addresses.
For some functions, such as the financial functions, it is important to enter the
arguments in the order shown in the dialog box and in Appendix A of this
manual. Inserting placeholders will help you remember the order.
Entering built-in functions
To include a built-in function in a formula, either insert the function using
Insert Function from the Formula menu or type the function and all of its
arguments. When you use Insert Function, you have the additional option ot
inserting placeholder arguments.
I_ To insert a function using the Formula menu:
1. Select the cell where you want the result of the calculation to appear.
2. Select Insert Function from the Formula menu. A dialog box appears.

Spreadsheet's Built.in Functions
Spreadsheet provides the following built-in function types:
Financial
Information
• Logical
• Math
• Print
• Statistical
String
Time and Date
• Trigonometric
When you select Insert Function from the Formula menu, adialog box
appears with a list of these function types on the left and the built-in
functions on the fight. For example, when you select MATH from the left, the
corresponding math functions appear on the fight. If you select ALL from the
left, all of Spreadsheet's functions appear on the fight in alphabetical order.
This section gives general descriptions of the function types. More detailed
information is in the Appendix, beginning on page 215.
Financial functions
Financial functions provide formulas for common financial calculations. For
example, the FV (Future Value) function calculates the future value of a
stream of regularly invested payments.
The arguments for financial functions are either values or addresses of cells
that contain values. When the argument is the interest rate, express it as its
actual value (.07 rather than 7 to indicate 7%). Be sure to specify the same
units for the term and the interest. If the interest is monthly, the term is also
monthly.
Information functions
The information functions return information about a cell or range of cells.
For example, the COUNT function counts the number of items in a list.
Spreadsheet 91
Logical functions
The logical functions evaluate relationships and return true or false results.
For example, the IF function looks at a condition, such as whether the
contents of B13 =500, and returns a true or false answer (true=l, false=0).
Mathematical functions
Mathematical functions provide common mathematical formulas. For
example, INT (Integer) truncates a value to the nearest whole number. The
arguments for mathematical functions are either values or addresses of cells
that contain values.
Print functions
The print functions retum the name of the current file, the current page, and
the number of pages. For example, PAGE returns the current page number
and can be inserted in headers and footers for numbering pages.
Statistical functions
Statistical functions provide formulas for common statistical calculations. For
example, MAX returns the largest value in a list. The arguments for statistical
functions consist of either values or addresses of cells that contain values.
String functions
- A string _s a series of characters. Stnng funcuons extract text (including -_
numbers) or retutrh values based on the text. At least one argument in each
string function is a text string.
Time and date functions
The time and date functions allow you to enter times and dates in serial form,
which is a form that Spreadsheet can understand. For example, you can use
the DATEVALUE function to create the appropriate serialized date such as
33988 for January 20, 1993. These functions are most useful in formulas
where the time and date are calculated r',ither than entered as a constant.
Trigonometric functions
"Trigonometric functions provide formulas for common trigonometric
calculations. The arguments for-trigonometric functions are either values or
addresses of cells that contain values.

Controlling Automatic Recalculation
Spreadsheet normally recalculates every formula in your spreadsheet when
you make a change. If your spreadsheet is large or contains many complex
formulas, this recalculation can be time consuming. In that case, you may
want to turn automatic recalculation off and recalculate the spreadsheet
manually whenever you want to.

!_ To recalculate manually:

Using Iteration and Circular References
Occasionally, you may want to create a formula in which the calculation uses
the result of the calculation. This is called a arcular referem_. For
example, to calculate gross profit, subtract expenses from income. If one of
the expenses is based on a percentage of the profit, for example, commission
payments, the formula has to rely on the outcome of the calculation.
If you calculate this formula more than once, each successive calculation
results in a smaller value. Thisis called/let-at/on. Iteration is the process of
recalc_l_iting a_cifculffr-_ference repeatedly, until the values converge', which
means that the difference in the result of each successive calculation is no
longer significant.
Before using circular references, turn on iteration using Calculation from the
Options menu. If you enter a formula with a circular reference but do not
specify iteration, #CIRC# appears in the cell.
_To use iteration:
m mm_ _
1. Select Calculation from the Options menu. The dialog box at the left
appears.
2. Fill in the dialog box, specifying the options you want.
Allow Iterations. Select the Allow Iteration option ff you are going
to use iteration in your.spreadsheet.
• Maximum Iterations. Enter the maximum number of iterations you
want.
Maximum Change. Enter the maximum change you want to allow.
If you enter zero, iteration will not stop until it converges or reaches
the maximum number of iterations.

formula the specified number of times or stops when the stated value for
maximum change is calculated.
Charting in Spreadsheet
Spreadsheet lets you create a variety of charts that represent numeric trends
or results. You can include a chart as a part of your spreadsheet. Or, after
creating a chart, you can copy it to the clipboard and use it in other programs
like Drawing or Word Processing.
This section begins by describing the types of charts you can create.
Information on creating and modifying charts begins on page 108. Information
on printing charts begins on page 121.
What Is aChart?
D_ not pIot rnorethan 12
itemsper chart.
Achart is a graphic representation of numeric data. For example, you can
create a chart to show the value of the consumer price index over a period of
years, the total revenue for a company broken down by region, or the
average student test grade through the school year.
Charts show the relationships-between a sem'es of va/u_s broken down into
categories. For example, in a chart of monthly expenses, the series would
include January, February, March, and so forth; the categories would include
items like Rent, Food, and Utilities; and the values would be the actual
expenditure incurred.
To create a chart, f'n'st select the data you want to create a chart from. You can
select a portion of an existing spreadsheet, or cream a new spreadsheet and
enter the data to chart.
The following illustration shows the genet:al format for data on which you
base a chart:

Chart Tide. The tide of the chart. This label is optional. If you do not place
any text in this cell, the chart will not be tided. You can tide it later using the-
Titles and Legends choice on the Chart menu.
Series Name. The series names are the labels of the spreadsheet columns.
Category Name. The category names are the labels of the spreadsheet rows.
Spreadsheet uses these labels to create legends (see Adding Tides and a
Legend on page 111).
Value. The numeric data values that Spreadsheet charts. Each category you
want to chart should have at least one value for each series. Empty cells in
your spreadsheet will be interpreted as zeros in your chart.
Types of Charts
Spreadsheet lets you create the following types of charts:
• Column
Bar
Line
X-Y Plot
Pie
• High/low
Column chart
Aco/tram obart (or a vertical bar chart) plots each category in aseries as a
vertical bar. The height of the bar corresponds to the value of that category_
The illustration at the left shows a typical column chart.
Variations on the standard column chart include the following:
Overlapped. The columns within each category overlap each other
slightly.
Stacked. The columns within each category are stacked vertically on
top of each other. The height of the stacked column is the sum of the
values in the category.
Spreadsheet 103
Matkea-s Only. Draws only the markers for each point; does not
connect the markers with lines.
Drop Lines. Draws the markers for each point, and then connects
the points in each category with avertical line; does not draw lines
connecting the values.
Area chart
An area chart is a line chart in which the area below the line is filled with a
pattern or solid tone. The illustrations below show a typical line chart The
chart on the left shows the result when the data is entered horizontally. The
one on the right shows the resuk when the data is entered vertically.

Variations on the standard area chart include the following:
Stacked Percentage. Like the column chart's stacked percentage
chart, this area chart shows the areas for each category stacked to a
constant height representing 100%, and the values are shown as
percentages.
Drop Lines. Draws a vertical line to connect the points in each
category.
Series Name. Draws the name of each series in the center of its f'dled
area.
Spreadsheet 105
X-Y Plot chart
41
i 511 s71
i" .... ,,oi.,3i,
An X-Ypiot chart, sometimes called ascauerp/ot, looks similar to a line
chart, but there is a significant difference between the two. Une charts plot a
value against a label (see the line chart on page 104), whereas X-Y plot charts
plot one value against another. X-Y plot charts are unique in that they take
categories two rows at a time and plot them against each othec
Another difference between Xoy plot charts and line charts is that on an X-Y
plot chart, the rick marks along each axis (X is the horizontal axis, Y the
vertical) are spaced according to their value, which may not always be at
regular intervals because of the potentially random nature of the data. On a
line chart, one axis always contains text labels which are usually evenly
spaced for visual clarity.
Variations on the standard K-Y plot chart include the following:
Lines Only. Draws only the lines connecting the points in each
series; does not draw the markers for each point.
Markers Only. Draws only the markers for each point; does not
connect the markers with lines. This choice makes an X-Y plot that
looks like a traditional scatter plot. Scatter plots are primarily used to
see how different data is grouped.
Pie chart
_ A pi_ chart is a round_charx in which the size of each slice is proportional to
the whole. Pie charts are unique in that they only draw one category of data.
The illustration on the left shows a typical pie chart.
Variations on the standard pie chart are:
Category Titles. Inserts the category rifles into the chart.
One Tone with Category Titles. Shows all the wedges of the pie in
one tone, with category rides.
• Ftrst Wedge Exploded. Pulls the wedge that starts near the
12-o'clock position out slighdy from the rest of the pie.
All Exploded. Pulis all the wedges apart slighdy.
• With Percentages. Shows the percentage of the whole pie that each
wedge represents.
Spreadsheet 106
High/Low chart
[1l
14 :.: :
3311 3"11 38i41i
Ahigh/low chart is useful for tracking pairs of data that mark a high and
low or a start and end value, such as the price of stocks or the day's
temperature range. Each pair of data points is plotted as a single vertical line.
You can also show a third or fourth relative value along with each pair, such
as the stock's daily closing priCe or the average temperature.
High/low charts require two categories of data and may show up to four
categories. The third category places tick marks to the left; the fourth category
places tick marks to the righL
There are no variations available for high/low charts.

Setting Attributes
This section describes how to set the attributes for a graphic object, such as a
line, rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse, arc, or star.
Area attributes are qualities such as the fill tone, shading, flu
pattern, and drawing mode.
Line attributes are qualities such as the tone, line pattern, thickness,
style, and arrowheads.
Text attributes control items such as the font, size, tone, line
spacing, paragraph spacing, indents, tabs, and borders.
Background tone used with area attributes can be used to create
custom tones.
Tone and patterns can add emphasis and appeal to a graphic object. You can
-define tonesand pattem_'fOr_an object's area attributes (the fill area in¢ide
an object) and its/_e attributes (the border of an object, or a line object).

object. Once you have pasted an object inside another, you can free tune the
position of the inside object by moving it one pixel at a time.
You can also break the object into its component objects using the Break Out
Paste Inside command.
The following example shows how to paste one object inside another.

_To create a text object:
1. Select the Text tool from the tool bar. Thepointer changes to crossed
1-beams when you move it over the drawing area.
2. Place the I-beams where you want your text to begin; hold the Select
button and drag diagonally to outline the area for the text to appear in. A
dotted line shows the borders of the text object.
3. Release the Select button. The border of the text object appears with a
blin_'ng vertical line, the insertion point, showing where you can begin
typing. The default font is 12 point Roman.
4. Begin typing. As you type, text wraps within the text object, and the object
automatically grows vertically to accommodate new lines of text. Do not
press ENTER unless you want to begin a new paragraph. If you later resize
your text object, word wrap will automatically adjust the line endings for
you, unless you press ENTER at the end of eacb line.

Working with Bitmap Objects ,, ,
In Drawing, you can use three types of objects to compose a drawing: text
objects, graphic objects, and bitmap objects.
A text objea is an object you create using the Text tool on the
Attributes tool bar.
Becausebitmap drawings
usealot of memory:
*Limit the size ofyour
bitmap drawing to an area
smaller than the size of
the window, scaled at
100% normal size.
.Save your document
frequen@
.Limit the number of
bitrnapdrawingsper
document
Agraphic object is any line, rectangle, ellipse, arc, star, or other
object you cream using any of the other tools (besides text) on the
Attributes tool bar or the Cream option on the Edit menu.
AbCtmap object is any object you create using any of the tools on
the Bitmap tool bar.
Abitmap is an object made up of pixels, which are individual dots that make
up an object, like the dots on a television screen. Bitmaps allow you to create
freehand objects. Because bitmaps have special properties, Drawing provides
a set of tools for manipulating pixels.
The Bitmap tools appear on the right side of the horizontal tool bar:
I =lr-1 I==ili'- l l l
I"-=" I'--" I"_ I"'_" I 41 "''1 "="" I".It I"'_1
_Like their- counterparts.-0n:the Drawing t0ol bar, the bitmap Line, Rectangle,
and Ellipse tools draw geometric shapes. However, the Bitmap tools paint
pixels in a bitmap, while the Drawing tools create distinct graphic objects.
' You can change the pixels of a bitmap object using the Bitmap tools.
Drawing 156
Creating a Bitmap Frame
Abitmapframe defines the outer bounds of a bitmap. Create a bitmap
frame using the Frame tool or by drawing abitmap shape using other bitmap
tools. Use the Bitmap tools to change pixels in the object and manipulate the
bitmap by moving, resizing, or transforming it as desired.
If you know the size of the bitmap you want to create, or if you just want to
block out an area of the drawing for the bitmap, use the Frame tool to create
a rectangular bitmap frame.
Any bitmap operations you perform in the frame are bounded by the frame
and become part of it. The frame acts much like a draw object that you can
stretch, move, and rotate. You cannot, however, move or resize individual
bitmap items you place in the bitmap frame. Once you place a bitmap item
into a frame, it permanendy becomes part of that frame, unless you select
Undo from the Edit menu.
l_ To draw a bitmap frame:
_--_ 1. Select the Frame tool from the Bitmap tools. Thepointer changes tocrosshairs when you move it over the drawine, area.
2. Move the on-screen pointer to where you want to anchor the first point of
the frame; then hold the Select button and drag the frame until it becomes
the size you want.
3. Release the Select button. A frame with a wbite fill appears with selection
handles: -" _ .- _-
mma
m m
RI III IR
Drawing a bitmap frame creates the bitmap. You can now change pixels
inside the bitmap frame. You can also draw other Drawing objects on top of
the bitmap; however, they remain separate objects, distinct from the bitmap.
Drawing 157
You can also create a bitmap frame by using the Bitmap tools to draw a
bitmap shape (straight line, freehand symbol, rectangle, or ellipse) in a blank
part of the drawing area. When you do this, Drawing creates a rectangular
bitmap frame around the object along its outermost points; the boundaries of
the frame become the boundaries of the bitmap.

Drawing Bitmap Shapes
Unlike other Drawing
objects, a bitmap is
always opaque and never
transparent (unfilled). As
a result, if you place a
bib'nap on top of other
objects, you cannot see
the objects underneath.
Use the Bitmap tools to draw the following bitmap shapes:
• Straight lines
• Rectangles
• Ellipses
• Freehand shapes
Once you draw a bitmap shape, it becomes part of the bitmap frame. You
cannot change a bitma_ghape asyou Would a draw object. For example, you
cannot move or r_size a bitmap ellipse directly; you can only draw another
ellipse in the new location or size you want. For this reason, it is helpful to
select Undo from the Edit menu to correct any mistakes you make.
Select the attributes of a bitmap shape before you draw it, including the tone,
shading, line weight, and so on. You can change these attributes after you
have drawn the shape.
The default background tone for a bitmap is white. Change the background
tone by drawing a bitmap shape in a different tone using one of the Bitmap
tools. The Attribute tools do not apply to bitmaps.

4. Move the on-screen pointer to where you want to anchor the first point of
the line; then hold the Select button and drag the line to where you want
it to end.
.Release the Select button. A straight line appears with the attn'butes you

Editing Bitmap Objects
Once you create a bitmap, you can use the Bitmap tools to change pixels in
the object, erase portions of it, and select all or part of the object to cut, copy,
and paste.
Whenever you use a bitmap tool in a bitmap object, the bitmap object
becomes the selected object. A frame appears around it to sbow you that it is
the selected object:

2. Press CTRL +/.
Drawing 160
Using Tone or Fill Pattern in a Selected Area
It is a good idea to
save your drawings
after everyfill
operaOon.
You can change the tone of a contiguous group of pixels using the Bitmap
Fill tool. Unlike the Fill tool for graphic objects, which fills the entire interior
of a graphic object, the Bitmap Fill tool fills an enclosed area with the current
area fill tone. The enclosed area is bounded by pixels of a different tone.
l_ To change the pixels in an enclosed area:
1. Select the Bitmap Fill tool from the Bitmap tools. Thepointer changes to a
paint can when you move it over the drawing area.
2. Select the fill tone and the pattern you want. You can use the Area Fill
tone tool or select Area Attributes from the Attributes menu.
3. Click anywhere in the enclosed area. Drawing changes aUpixels in the
enclosed area with the current area fill tone.
Erasing in the Bitmap Frame
To erase a rectangular
region, use the Selec_on
tool and Cut or Delete
from the Edit menu.
When you use the Eraser tool, Drawing changes the tone of affected pixels to
white. It has the same effect of painting pixels white using adifferent Bitmap
tool (such as the Rectangle tool).
i_ To erase pixels in a bitmap frame:
1. Select the Eraser tool from the Bitmap tools. Thepointer changes to a
square when you move it over the drawing area.
..... - 2. Move-the pointer to-w_ere yofi want to start erasing, and then click or
drag the pointer over the parts of the object you want to erase.
Using the Pixei View Tool
To change individual pixels in the Pixel View, use the Pixel View tool (on the
far right). This tool enlarges your drawing and displays a grid of pixels that
you can change individually.
Once an object appears in the Pixel View, you can use any of the bitmap
tools to make subtle changes to it, such as smoothing out a rough edge or
comer. For example, to change the tone of individual pixels, select a line
tone, select the Brush tool, and then click on the pixels you want to change.
Similarly, to change a rectangular region of pixels, select a fill tone, select the
Rectangle tool, and then draw a rectangle over the region of pixels you want
to change.
Drawing 161
To display the Pixel View:
--_ 1. Select the Pixel View tool from the Bitmap tool bar. Thepointer changes to"
a magnifying glass when you move it over the drawing area.
2. Move the on-screen pointer to where you want to change pixels; then
click the Select button. The Pixel View appeam.
3. Select the bitmap tool you want to use to change pixels.
4. In the Pixel View window, use any of the Bitmap tools to change pixels
individually or in groups.
To change the Pixel View area:
With the magnifying glass tool, click on a pixel in the Pixel View window.
This pixel becomes centered in the Pixel View window.
OR
Click in the bitmap object outside the Pixel View window.

You can import graphics into Drawing that were created with other drawing
programs or are stored in other file formats. You can also export drawings
you have created in Drawing.
Graphics files are usually stored as biatmaps, which consist of a series of dots
(pixels) that together make up a graphic object. With Drawing, you can
import and export graphics in the following bitmap formats:
Bitmap (BMP). This is the standard bitmap format that many
Windows and OS/2 programs can create.
CompuServe@ Graphics Interchange Format (GIF). This is a
format designed to minimize transfer time over telephone lines.
PC Paintbrush (PCX). This is a popular format for exchanging
bitmap graphics between programs.
Tag Image File Format (TIFF). This is a standard format for storing
bitmap graphic objects. TIFF files can be used by programs on many
different kinds of computers.

Scheduling Repeating Events
You might have events that happen regularly, such as ameeting every
Thursday at 4:00. In Planner, you can schedule the event once. Planner then
remembers to schedule these meetings for you every Thursday at 4:00. You
can schedule an event that repeats in one of the following ways:
Weekly. A week/y event occurs on the same day every week, such as
every Wednesday.
Monthly by date. A monthly by date event occurs every month on
the same numbered day, such as the fL,'stor the fifteenth of every
month.
A weekly event
occurs on the same
day every week, stich
as every Wednesday.
"Yearly by date. A yearly by date event occurs once a year on the
same date, such as abirthday or a holiday.
Monthly by day. A mombly by day event occurs every month on the
same day of a particular week, such as every third Sunday.
Yearly by day. A yearly by day event occurs once a year on the same
day of a particular week in a particular month, such as the first
Sunday in March.
When you schedule a repeating event, it appears in the Events window on the
days for which it applies. You can also edit an individual occurrence of a
repeating event, changing its text description or time. Once you edit the event,
that particular occurrence is no longer considered a repeating event, but is
_ now just_one of the reg2alajc,events for that day. All other occurrences of, the
repeating event are unaffected.

capturing pieces from your opponent. The game ends when no one can
make any more moves. The person with the most pieces on the board wins.
Capturing Pieces
To capture, place your pieces on both sides of a single piece or at both ends
of a row of your opponent's pieces. Capture in any direction: vertically,
horizontally, or diagonally. You may have to capture the same piece more
than once in the course of the game.

Changing the Scoring
Solitaire has the following scoring options:
Standard ('rimed) and Standard (LMtimed). In Standard (Timed),
you lose points for the time you spend deciding where to move a
card. In Standard (Untimed), you are not penalized for taking time to
make decisions. Standard (Timed) and Standard (Untimed) games are
scored as shown in the following table:
IF YOU ... YOU GET...
Let 10 seconds pass.
Move a card to one of the
four upper stacks.
Flip a card in the lower
stacks.
Move a card from the dis-
card deck to one of the low-
er stacks.

Vegas. Your game starts when you choose Re-Deal from the Game
menu. You start each Vegas game already 52 points in the hole, and
for each re-deal you lose another 52 points. For each card you
successfully move to an upper stack, you receive five points. Points
are cumulative from game to game. You are also limited to how many
times you can go through the discard deck: only once with one-card
draw; twice with two-card draw; and three times with three-card
draw.
Countdown. You play against the clock. Your goal is to score as
many points as possible in 7 minutes. You can change the allotted
time using the Set Countdown Time option in the Options menu. For
more information about changing your Solitaire options, see page

Spreadsheet Built-in Functions
Spreadsheet uses
floating point math,
which has benefits such
as speed But floating
point math produces
errors in the 17th or 18th
significant o_git. While
this is often not
detectable, the errors
become apparent in
some calculations,
especially when you use
financial functions like
IRR and NPV.
Spreadsheet adheres to
the IEEE 754 standards
for floating point
calculations.
Bui/t-kzfunaions are prewritten formulas that take a value, perform a
mathematical operation, and _turn a result. For example, you can use a
built-in function to total a grotlp of fiumbers.
You can also use built-in functions to insert information in Spreadsheet; for
example, use the Time & Date functions to insert the current date and time.
Functions are represented by a keyword followed by arguments enclosed in
parentheses. The function returns a value based on the arguments you enter.
For example, in the expression SQRT(144), SQRT is the keyword for the
square root function, and 144 is the argument. This function returns 12, the
square root of 144. ',
Argument Rules
The following rules apply to using arguments in functions:
You can use numbers, cell addresses, or cell ranges in Spreadsheet as
values.
t
You must enclose text string arguments in quotation marks.
You must specify interest rates as decimal values, and they must
correspond to the same time unit as the term. For example, payments
that are monthly require a monthly interest rate.
You must express trigonometric angle arguments in radians. If you
want to convert degrees to radians, use the RADIANS0 function.
Some trigonometric functions return radians. If you need the returned
value expressed in degrees, use the DEGREES 0 function.
Appendix 215
Financial Functions
The arguments for financial functions are either numbers or addresses of cells
that contain numbers. When the argument is the interest rate, enter its actual
value (for example, enter .07 or 7% rather than 7). Be sure to specify the
same units for the term and the interest. If the interest is monthly, the term is
also monthly. Enter all values without spaces.

Descdption
Number of compounding terms or periods required for an investment to grow
to a future value. Interest is the interest rate for the calculation. Future value is
the proposed value of the asset. Present value is the current value of the asset.
For example, CTERM(.05,1000,500) returns 14.2 periods.
DoubleMledining balance depredation of an asset using the double-declining
balance method. Cost is the original cost of the asset. Salvage is the ending
value of the asset. Life is the duration of the depreciation, using the same units
as Per_d. Period is the time period for which the depredation calculation
occurs. Not a cumulative calculation.
Returns the future value of a stream of regularly invested payments. Payments is
the payment made each period. Interest is the interest rate for the same time
period as payments. Term is the total number of payments that are made. Be
careful to enter the interest rate for the same time pen'od as the payments.
Internal rate of return of series of irregular payments at regular intervals, k
returns the interest rate when you know the initial investment and know you
will get regular payments of varying amounts. Guess is the number you guess is
approximately the-in_x'_st:rate.,-Range fs the address defining the range for,the
cash flow tabl_.
Net present value is the amount of money (in today's dollars) to be spent in the
future. Interest is the interest rate for the calculation. Range is the cells
containing the cash flow information.
Calculates the constant payment required to repay a loan at aspecified interest
rate over a given period of time. Pm'ncipal is the amount of the loan. Interest is
the interest rate for the same time period as the term. Term is the interval at
which the payments are made. Be careful to enter the interest ratefor the same
time period as the terms. For example, to determine the monthly payment for a
20 year loan of $75,000, at 5% annual interest.
=PMT(75000,.05/12,240) returns $494.97.
Returns the present value of an investment. Payments is the payment made
each period. Interest is the interest rate for the same time period as payments.
Term is the total number of payments that are made. Be careful to enter tbe
interest rate for the same time.period as tbe payments.
Required interest rate to reach afuture value. Future value is the value of the
annuity at the end of the investment period. Present value is the value of the
annuity today. Term is the time periods for the investment.

the asset is being depreciated. Penbd is the period to analyze.
Required number of terms or payment periods to reach a future value.
Payments are made at the end of each term and earn a constant interest rate.
Payments is the amount of the periodic payments. Interest is the interest rate for
the investment per time period. Future_value is the value of the annuity at the
end of the investment period. Be careful to enter the interest rate for the same
time pen'od as the term.
Information Functions
The information functions return information about a cell or a range of cells.

Appendix 217
Function
HLOOKI_ (value,
range, offset)
Description
Returns a value from ahorizontal lookup table, allowing you to use a spreadsheet
table like adatabase. HLOOKUPextracts from the horizontal rows, and VLOOKUP
extracts information from verticalcolumns. HI.OOKUPassumes the entries in the Fast
row are sorted in ascending order.This function returns the entry corresponding to
the nearest ascending value that is not greaterthan va/ue. Useful when you have
several alternatives to look up, such as tax rates, commissions, or discounts. Va/ue is
the value to be found in the lust row of the table. Va/ue can be a number, address,
or text string. Range is the address of the range that defines the table. Offset defines
which row contains the information. The offset of the top row is zero. See the
example on page 219.
INDEX (range, Returns the value of the cell at the intersegtion of a row and column. The top row
column offset, row is 0,0. Range is the address defining the range. Co/Utah offset defines the column
offset) offset in the specified range. Row offset defines the row offset in the specified range.
ISERR (t_/ue) Retm-ns1 if an expression is an error or 0 ffit is not. This function is particularly
useful in IF statements.
ISNUMBER (m/ue) Returns 1if an expression is a tt_ or 0 if it is not. Useful in IF statements.
IS,STRING (value) Returns1if an expression is a string or 0 if it is not. Useful in IF statements.
3I (range) Returnsthe value flora the first cell in a range if that cell contains a number, time,
or date. If the cell contains text, the function returns 0 (zero).
NA0
ROWS (range)
VLOOKUP (m/ue,
range, offset)
÷
Returns the number of rows in a range.
Stops the evaluation of a formula and generates #N/A# in the formula cell. NA is the
iabbreviation for Not Av "rulable. This function is useful ff you are creating a
spreadsheet-and do not h_'_'_all the required-values. If aformula refers to ace_,
containing #N/A#, R'retums #N/A# so that you do not inadvertently forget to
complete the spreadsheeL You can type #N/A# directly into the cell. You must
include the empty parentheses.
Returnsavalue from avertical loolmp table, allowing you to use a spreadsheet like
a database. VLOOKUP extracts information from verticalcolumns in the same way as
HLOOKUPextracts from the horizontal rows. VLOOKUP assumes the entries in the
fast column are sorted in ascending order. This function returnsthe entry
corresponding to the nearest ascending value,that is not greaterthan va/ue. Va!ue is
the value to be found in the first column of the table, and it can be a number,
address, or text string. Range is the address of the range that defines the table. Offset
defines which column contains the information.The offset of the first column is zero.
Appendix 218
Information Function example: HLOOKUP
HLOOKUP and VLOOKUP allow you to search for a value that is within a
range of values.
The table below is an example of a simple lookup table. This table tracks a
discount rate, which is based on the number of units sold. If you want to
look up a discount rate for 1257 units sold, use HLOOKUP to extract values
horizontally.
When using
HLOOKUP or
VLOOKUP, the table
entdes must be
sorted in ascending
order.

HLOOKUP(B1,B3:F4,1) = 10%,
In this example, HLOOKUP(B1,B3:F4,1) returns 10%. B1 contains the value,
1257 units. BI:F4 is the table range. The offset is 1, which defines the row
containing information to search. In this case the offset is the row with the
discount rates. The offset of the f'n-st row of data is 0.
HLOOKUP returns 10%_because it is the discount rate for 1,000 to 9,999 units

Logical Functions,
The logical functions evaluate relationships and return true or false results.
True=1(or nonzero values) and false = 0.
A logical function uses a conditional statement; for example, if this is true
then do that. An example of a lo[_ical function would be this conditional
statement: if the value in B12 is larger than 10,000, then display 50 in this cell.
Description True = 1(or nonzero), False = 0
Function
AND (logicall,
IogicatZ,...)
FALSE ( )
IF (tog/ca/,true
value, faise value)
OR (logicaH , _:
logical2,...)
TRUE()
Logical AND. Returns 1 if all arguments are true or 0 if any is false. Useful with IF
statements. Logical can be either logical values, arrays or references to cells that
contain logical values. Text is ignored. If the argument does not contain a logical
value, AND returns the #TYPE# error. See also OR. You can have as many/ogical
arguments as you want.
Returns O. You can use FALSE in acalculation or enter it directly into a cell where it
is interpreted as a logical value. You must include the empty parentheses. See also
TRUE. .
Evaluates acondition, returning one specified value if true and another if it is
false. Logical is any expression or value that can be evaluated as true or false. True
value is the value returned if the logical expression is true. False value is the value
returned if the logical expression is false.
Returns 1 if at least one of the arguments is true or 0 if all of the arguments are
false.The arguments can be-'3,-d.luesor-cells. You can have as many logical arguments
as you want. OR ignores text. If an argument does not contain a logical value, OR
returns the #'rYPE# error. OR is particularly useful with IF expressions. See also AND.
Returns 1. You can use TRUE in a calculation or enter it directly into a cell where it
is interpreted as a logical value. You must include the empty parentheses. See also
FALSE.
Logical Function example: IF statements
IF statements consist of the following:
The condition you want to test
The result you want if the condition is true
The result you want if the condition is false
For example, you might calculate escalating bonuses for a sales team based
on a percentage of the sales, located in cell C4. For sales under $10,000, the
bonus is 2%.
Appendix 220
IBONUS = .04*SALES
BONUS= Sr_0.00
t
IBONUS: .02*SALES
BONUS= $150.00
BONUS= IF(SALES<IOOOO,.O2*SALES,.O4*SALES)I
For sales over $10,000, the bonus is 4%. The formula for such an IF statement
shown in the box above is =IF(C4<10,000, 0.2 * C4, .04"C4) where the sales
figure is located in cell C4.
In this example, SALES<10000 is the condition you want to test, .0Z*SALF_ is
the result you want ff the condition is true, and .04*SALESis the result you
want if the condition is false. Therefore, if the SALES figure is $15,000 then
the IF statement returns false, and Spreadsheet computes the formula as in
the box at the left.
If, on the other hand, the SALES figure is $7,500, then the IF statement returns
true, and Spreadsheet computes the formula as in the box at the left.
Logical Function example: combining functions
By combining IF with the AND and OR functions, you can create even more
complex conditional statements. Consider the following examples:
=IF(AND(AI>100,BI>100,Cl>IOO),5,0)
The result of this formula is 5only if the values in A1, B1, and C1 are all
greater than 100. Otherwise the result is 0. You can apply the same principle
using the OR function,:_ shown in the following example:
:!IF-(OR(A1> 100,B1> 100),50,O)
The result of this formula is 50 if either A1 or B1 is greater than 100;
otherwise, the result is 0.
Using Logical operators in Logical Functions
You can also use conditional operators that result in a value of 0 if false or 1
if true. These operators are used with IF functions.
