example in the help topic
I put in a wrong formula and then I went to the function help and it said to
open a blank worksheet, Select the example in the Help topic. I can't find the example in the help topic. Do I open a blank worksheet and then press CTRL +C to opent the examples? I was in the ATAN function. -- Lois Ann |

example in the help topic
Well I had that on the screeen, but I don't know how to select one, when I
tried to click on one, it just showed the same as what was on the text. I thought it would bring up an example of a problem? -- Lois Ann "Gord Dibben" wrote: On main menu select Help and type in ATAN to bring up help screen.

example in the help topic
To select an example from the help screen, just slowly drag the mouse pointer
across the formula to highlight it then CTRL + C to copy. The example is the formula and shows the result of that formula. Not very helpful in most cases<g Gord On Tue, 1 Aug 2006 15:57:01 -0700, Lois Ann wrote: Well I had that on the screeen, but I don't know how to select one, when I tried to click on one, it just showed the same as what was on the text.

Not alot of actual code to copy on those help pages.
But in general Click and select the text you want use Then Ctrl+C The help text should clarify the atan stuff though.
