Hey, I'm having these (hopefully simple problems) with writing in page
numbers:
(I also posted this in the newbie section, but maybe it fits better here?)

1. I want to write ex. 7-19 in a cell -
Then in another cell I want excel to give the result of the interval of,
here 12.

2. Now, if that's possible, I also want to ask this:
In one cell i want to write 2 or more different interval, ex
7-19, 81-90.

Can I make excel understand what I'm writing somehow? And get the result
of
these intervals in another cell, here 21 (12+9)

Any help will be extremely appreciated - thanks in advance, steve.
