I got a new computer at work. The insert function key on my previous excel
software on my previous computer had been changed so that it permanently
showed an equal sign, instead of the fx characters. Thereby eliminating the
need to select the "sum" option in the function box. I used this = sign
feature all the time as I edited numbers in a cell. I would need to add an
additional figure to an existing figure in a cell. And to do so, I would go
to the cell, click on the = sign (just in front of the formula bar) and it
would automatically allow me to just hit + and the additional number without
having to go select "Sum" first. When I got the equal sign was no longer
there, just the fx. I need to know how to change the fx to the equal sign.
Hopefully this makes sense. (version Exel 2003)
