Hello I will be looking at all the chapters in numerical order. That way I get a better understanding of Calc works as I am no spreadsheet expert. I do operate Calc as I am checking the chapters to make sure the instructions match what happens on the screen. I do sometimes miss things, but will keep it in my mind about Excel. I do have MS Office for Mac and Windows 2011 version. Just means I have the reinstall onto my computers - not a problem.
