I have a spreadsheet where the calculate alert is showing down at the
bottom
of the screen. I have calculations set to automatic in the options tab,
but
it still shows up. Why is that, and is there something I can do that
would
help clear that?

The issue is bigger than this, but I figured I'd better keep it simple to
start.
