Section 3. Spreadsheet Commands
133
When you load a file with the LF command, the work area is cleared before the
file is displayed. The loaded file is displayed at the top of the work area regardless
of the current location of the cursor. Because the LF command always clears the
work area before the file is loaded at the top of the work area, any work in the
work area will be lost unless you saved it before you issued the LF comand.
Error Messages
If the message FILE NOT FOUND >» is displayed on the status line after you
issue an LF command, the disk in the drive does not contain the file whose name
you typed in response to LOAD FILE. Either the wrong disk is in the drive or you
misspelled the file name when you typed it. Check the disk catalog to make sure
the file exists on that disk; then reissue the command. If the file does not exist on
the disk and you are sure you have the right disk, most likely the file was never
saved. If you must switch disks, be sure to issue the ID command after doing so.
If the message NO FILE! is displayed on the status line, the disk drive is not
connected, is not turned on, or no disk is inserted in the drive.
Example: If
LOAD FILE: budget
After you type If, the computer displays LOAD
FILE. Type the name of the file you want to load.
MAN
SS
Cancels automatic calculation mode. When MANual mode is on, formulas are
calculated only when you enter the formula cell and press RETURN. Formulas
entered with the FIT command are not calculated. In addition, when you are in
manual mode and change a cell entry that was used in a formula, any other cell
entries that are affected by the change are not recalculated. To perform these
calculations, you must use the AUTO command to enter auto mode.
The default calculation mode is manual mode. The current calculation mode is
indicated by MANU. or AUTO., which is displayed at the far right on the status
line.
Example: MAW Cancels auto mode and returns to manual calculation mode.
MAP SS
Lets you transfer cells of spreadsheet data by rows to the word processor.
Transferring data with the MAP command is manual: you move the cell cursor
into each cell you want to transfer. Because you select each cell, you should use
MAP in half-screen mode so that you can see both work areas simultaneously.
Use MAP when you want to transfer only selected cells from the spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet data are M APped to the current word processor cursor location.
