How can I see what the cell numbers are without actually inserting a column and numbering each row and each column with letters in order to facilitate the creation of the formula? In wordperfect, we could see the cell numbers in reveal codes?     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Suzanne S.

Too bad the cell numbers don't appear in the status bar, the same as the page number and section are listed. Thanks for your help. "Suzanne S.
