Summary:

There is no option to delete all of the names in a Multiplan worksheet at once; you can only delete one name at a time. This is by program design.

Following are two methods to delete a name:

Method 1
This method deletes a name by making it refer to a blank area.


 * 1) Enter the name to delete in the “define name” field.
 * 2) Press TAB, then press DEL to delete the response in the “to refer to” field.
 * 3) Press ENTER.

You can also write a macro to delete all of the names at once.

Method 2
This method “undefines” a name.


 * 1) Choose Name by pressing “N”.
 * 2) Type the name you want to delete in the “define name” field or press the LEFT ARROW key to select from a list of available names.
 * 3) Press TAB to move to the “to refer to” field, and press DEL to delete the proposed response.
 * 4) Press ENTER.
