Hi Jacky
Maybe this will help if I understand your question.
If you use a lot your numeric keypad for your calculations, start with a + on
the keypad instead of the = sign, e.g. +5+5-5, +5*5.etc. The + sign is handy
right beside your numbers.
You should know that in the future, Microsoft will stop using that function and
you will need to use the = sign.
Its a backward compatibility with Lotus123 and is no longer used.
