Description Burkhard Lück 2006-01-30 22:01:02 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Chapter 2 KSpread Basics, Recalculation says:
"If the Automatic recalculation box in the  Preferences page of the Settings->Configure
KSpread... dialog box is checked, KSpread will recalculate the values of cells whenever 
anything that affects them is changed."

But there is no Automatic recalculation box and no Preferences page in KSpread's
Configure dialog, so this sentence is wrong!

In Format->Sheet->Sheet Properties menu there is a box "Automatic recalculation", to enable/disable this for each sheet. But is there a way to do this for all sheets (the whole document) at once?

This needs some clarification in Chapter 2 KSpread Basics, Recalculation

proposed patch

however unchecking the option in Sheet Properties still makes it automatically
recalulate...
Comment 2 Burkhard Lück 2006-01-31 08:52:15 UTC
the description of the gui is ok, but I can confirm that checking or 
unchecking this option has no effect, tested with the latest kspread 
from trunk
Comment 3 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2006-01-31 19:53:51 UTC
