3.00 3.01 3.02

MS-DOS

Summary:

Multiplan versions 3.00, 3.01, and 3.02, unlike versions 2.x, recalculates a spreadsheet before it prints, even if the automatic recalculation option is turned off. This is a change from previous versions.

Recalculation occurs under the following situations:


 * 1) If Options Recalc is set to Yes.
 * 2) If Options Recalc is set to No and the Recalc key (the F4 function key) is pressed.
 * 3) If Options Recalc is set to No and the spreadsheet is saved.
 * 4) If Options Recalc is set to No and a Print Printer command is executed.

The documentation on Pages 329 and 350 of the “Microsoft Multiplan” manual that refers to no recalculation when printing is incorrect for versions 3.00, 3.01, and 3.02 of the program.

Multiplan version 3.04 has been changed so that it does not cause a recalculation when a spreadsheet is printed. This is also true with Multiplan versions 4.00, 4.01, and 4.20.
