How do you know the older version is "more intuitive" as you have been using
it for years? For something to be intuitive it must be obvious to the user
who has no experience.
We would need to test a number of neophytes who have never used Excel and
see if those on the old version learned quicker than those on the new. I
think it is an open question.

BUT, like you, I know I have some hours of frustration ahead of me!
best wishes

Thx, it is rather frustrating having used XL for years, older versions
seem
more intuitive than the beta

The new Names Manager, etc. is on the Formulas tab. Ctrl-F3 is the short
