to a border of the screen and CODE + G (GO TO) + a cursor key moves the cursor to

The Input Area

With a paper spreadsheet, you write the data directly in the cells of the sheet. With
this electronic spreadsheet, you always type or edit the data of each cell on the top

line of the screen, which is called the “Input Area”.

There are basically two ways to input data: direct input, and formula input. Direct

input means

that

you directly type

what will

appear

in

the

highlighted

cell. Formula

input means that you type a formula in the Input Area. In that case, the result of the

formula is displayed in the cell.

When you move the cursor across the grid to highlight (select) a particular cell, the

contents of that cell are always displayed in the Input Area on the top line of the

screen, the way you typed them. What you see in the Input Area may often differ from

what is displayed in the cell:

NOTES:

If you typed a formula, the formula—not the result—will appear in the Input Area.

This feature allows for easy editing when a formula is wrong.
