Section 3. Spreadsheet Commands
125
CINS SS
Inserts a blank column between filled columns. Columns to the right of the
inserted column are moved one column to the right to make room for the inserted
column.
Be careful when you use the CINS (Column INSert) command: CINS does not
adjust any formulas that are affected by a column insertion. Formulas that refer
to cells to the right of an inserted column will most likely be affected, and you will
have to change the formulas manually.
CM WP, SS
When issued in the spreadsheet, clears the spreadsheet work area, but does not
affect the other work areas. Spreadsheet work is lost after you issue a CM
command, unless you save the work first.
After you issue a CM command, the computer displays a question to double
check your intentions. In the word processor the question is: CLEAR ALL Y/ N?
In the spreadsheet the question is: ARE YOU SURE Y/ N? The questions are the
same: Are you sure you want to clear the current work area? Because all informa
tion cleared from the work area is lost unless you save it, this question gives you a
last chance to change your mind before the work area is erased.
COLOR SS
Lets you select a new color for the screen background. When you first turn on
the built-in software, the word processor work area displays a white cursor and
pale yellow characters on a black screen. If you want to use a different color
combination, issue a COLOR command in the spreadsheet. You can change the
color of the screen only from the spreadsheet.
You can select only the screen background color with the COLOR command;
other colors are selected automatically. To select a new color, use the numbers
from Table 2-2.
