= SUMMARY =

After you enter a formula into a record for one field, Microsoft Works for MS-DOS versions 1.0, 1.05, and 2.0 fill down that formula for all records in the database. To erase the formula from the field, follow these steps:


 * 1) Move the cursor to the field with the formula.
 * 2) Type “=” (without the quotation marks) as a new formula (this also appears in the formula bar).
 * 3) Press ENTER.

The above process removes the formula from a blank field and also removes anything that was the result of the formula. However, it does not erase any number or text that you directly entered into the field.
