The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, version 4.0

SUMMARY

Page 364 of the Works 4.0 for the Macintosh “User’s Guide” contains an incorrect series of steps under the topic “To edit a spreadsheet object.”

For clarity, the series of steps should read:

1. Double-click anywhere in the spreadsheet object to activate it. Works places the spreadsheet object in a separate window.
2. Make any changes you want to the information in the spreadsheet object.
3. Close the spreadsheet object window by clicking the box in the upper- left corner of the window.

To change the look of the spreadsheet object:

1. Click once anywhere in the spreadsheet object to highlight it. You will see object handles around the spreadsheet object.
2. From the Edit menu choose Works Spreadsheet Object and drag to choose Define Spreadsheet. Works display the Define Spreadsheet dialog box.
3. Click the options you want.

MORE INFORMATION

The series of steps as printed implies that you can go to the Edit menu and choose Works Spreadsheet Object while you still have the spreadsheet window active. You cannot choose this option with the object window active; it is available only when there are selection handles displayed around the object.
