OFF95: BINDER.TXT Uses "AlwaysCalc" Rather Than "AutoCalculate" (134279)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office for Windows 95
- Microsoft Excel for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q134279 SYMPTOMS
The BINDER.TXT file (which is installed to the Office folder when you set
up Office 7.0), contains the following information:
If you want to use the Microsoft Excel AlwaysCalc feature, shared
lists, or templates, work with the section outside the Binder.
This information is incorrect. It should instead state the following:
If you want to use the Microsoft Excel AutoCalculate feature,
shared lists, or templates, work with the section outside the Binder.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. Microsoft is researching this
problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
The BINDER.TXT is included to point out limitations and uses for Microsoft
Office Binders.
With AutoCalculate, you no longer need to use a calculator or enter
temporary formulas on a worksheet when you want to quickly check a total.
Now you can select the range you want to sum, and the answer will appear in
the status bar at the bottom of the screen. You can also average the
selected numbers or count the entries by using the right mouse button to
click the AutoCalculate area in the status bar.

And Number Formatting" topic.
