SYMPTOMS
The BINDER.TXT file (which is installed to the Office folder when you set up Office 7.0), contains the following information:

If you want to use the Microsoft Excel AlwaysCalc feature, shared lists, or templates, work with the section outside the Binder.

This information is incorrect. It should instead state the following:

If you want to use the Microsoft Excel AutoCalculate feature, shared lists, or templates, work with the section outside the Binder.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
The BINDER.TXT is included to point out limitations and uses for Microsoft Office Binders.

With AutoCalculate, you no longer need to use a calculator or enter temporary formulas on a worksheet when you want to quickly check a total. Now you can select the range you want to sum, and the answer will appear in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. You can also average the selected numbers or count the entries by using the right mouse button to click the AutoCalculate area in the status bar.
