Ok I've set up a simple cash book that analyzes and checks everything and gives a running total etc etc, however whenever I insert extra rows the formulas don't seem to follow on. What should happen is I put in a figure go to the analysis code column put in a code this puts the figure in the correct column and adjusts the totals accordingly, if I insert extra rows the formulas are added only if I put an analysis code in so if I miss that any lines after that dont get added up in the totals or get analysed, it just stops unless I copy down the columns and adjust the formulas for the totals, the point being that if I miss an analysis it's supposed to show in the check column and then carry on totalling the rest of the rows.
Basically I want to insert rows that allow gaps that can be filled in later if need be without halting the workings of the spreadsheet.
the crayons. I learnt some bits of excel once, used it like ten years ago but nowdays only excel i do is just using given templates so any time i need something it is the case of reading all help files, google, ask workmates etc. and hoping I can get away with not learning everything again...but I suppose I will have to. :(
I need that book, or access to google, I can never remember where to put brackets commas etc, I think it's something you have to use every day to be honest.
I still use 2000 at home, but am forced to use 2008 for Mac (which is like 2007) at work and I hate it, I can never find what I know is there somewhere, it's sooooooo frustrating and time-consuming. Page break preview seems to have disappeared into the ether and I loved that for sorting out what I wanted where.

I may be misunderstanding what Page Break Preview is - but aren't the page breaks left behind when you press Ctrl - P and then cancel. Or Ctrl + F2 and then cancel.

Bill you're right it was page break view I can't find in 2008 for Mac. Both me and the production manager have taught IT and neither of us could find this view and believe me we tried.
Before I got parallels for the Mac to enable me to use Sage on a virtual machine instead of having to shut down and re-start as either windows or Mac using bootcamp I used to use Openoffice wordprocessor and spreadsheet (to save having to keep swapping to do office stuff in Mac and accounts stuff in windows).
I thought it was very good, however, it does have it's quirks, I found trying to drag things around a bit of a drag (ha ha). Also when predictive texting if you wanted to choose what you had written before in a cell it then took you to the row below - maddening. Also the word processor had all the stuff but under different menus eg page setup was not under File, I think it was in either Format or Edit - haven't used it in a while 'cos now I have magic parallels.
On Excel 2007 there is page break view but on Office 2008 for Mac there isn't. Sheila, if they let you, you could install Excel 2004 where you can have page break view. There is a Service Pack (SP1) out for 2008 I don't know have you got this installed or not with this one installed at least you can move the page break in normal view. It is good to have graphic designers at work, they use Mac and they know a lot about it :)
