= SUMMARY =

On Page 109 of the Version 2.00 “Microsoft Works Reference” manual, it incorrectly states that you can copy cell contents through a group of cells by highlighting the group of cells and then pressing CTRL+’ (apostrophe) and then ENTER.

This statement mistakenly combines two different procedures into one.

First, if you want to enter information into several cells at once you can highlight the group of cells, type the information, such as =RAND, and then press CTRL+ENTER. This fills the information throughout the rest of the selection.

Second, to copy information from the cell above into the current cell, you can highlight the cell below the information you want to copy, then press CTRL+’ and then ENTER. This copies the information from the cell above into the current cell.
