brightness.

columns on screen.

Releasing

When you want to release the frozen columns (you must do that to be able to move
the cursor into the frozen columns for editing), proceed as for freezing, but select

RELEASE in step (2). A message will tell you that the frozen columns have been

released:

Frozen columns have been released.

Changing the Format of Numeric Data

This system is quite capable of handling fractional numbers, though it displays the

result in decimal notation. Fractional numbers may even be typed in the Input Area as

fractions, but they will still be displayed on the grid as decimals. The system correctly

stores their values.

The word processor is not set to display decimal digits by default. However, you can

modify this using the format function to display up to five digits. This function also
allows you to display dollar figures with a dollar symbol and two decimal places. It
also can display percentage data with the percentage symbol to a specified number
of decimal places, again, up to five.

To use the format function, proceed as follows:

1. Position the cursor on a corner of the range to be formatted and press MENU.
