Managing Formula Forge
The Formula Forge menu
A drop-down menu at the top of the Formula Forge
pane provides users
with control over Formula Forge's behavior, as well as information about Formula Forge.
The Show in larger window
menu item allows users to display
the Formula Forge
pane in a floating
canvas.
The mode
setting in a later release of Formula Forge will provide
users with access to drag-and-drop tools for editing the formula.
The Values in the tree view
setting governs
whether or not to display values
in the tree view.
The Collapsed element content
setting governs how the
text and math views display collapsed elements.
The About Formula Forge
menu item links to information
about the version of Formula Forge currently in use.
The Help
menu item links to this User Guide.
Simultaneous views
The desktop versions of Excel (but not Excel for the web) have a New Window
button on the View
ribbon. Clicking this button enables users to view
multiple spreadsheets (or different portions of a single spreadsheet) at the same time.
Each of these views contains its own Formulas
ribbon.
Clicking the Get Formula
buttons on these ribbons allows users
to view different formulas (or different portions of a single formula) at the same time.
By expanding and collapsing different portions of a single formula in different views,
users can examine how the expanded elements relate to one another.
