SUMMARY
The &quot;Microsoft Works for Windows User's Guide&quot; incorrectly lists that the order operators are evaluated in a formula. In the guide, the negative and positive operators are listed after the exponential operator, which is incorrect. The negative and positive operators should appear before the exponential operator.



MORE INFORMATION
The correct table is as follows: Operator                       Description ---
