• This pastes the contents you cut. At the same time, the contents are deleted from the cell where you
performed the cut operation.
To cut the contents of a range of cells and paste them into another location in the spreadsheet
1. Select the range of cells whose contents you want to cut.
2. Select T > [Cut & Paste].
• This causes "[OK]: Paste" to appear in the status bar.
3. Move the cursor to the cell that is the upper left corner of the range of paste destination cells.
4. Press O.
• This pastes the contents of the range of cells that you cut. At the same time, the contents are deleted from
the cell where you performed the cut operation.

Inputting a Cell Reference
A cell reference is a symbol that references the value of one cell for use by another cell. If you input "= A1 +
B1" into cell C2, for example, the spreadsheet adds the current value of cell A1 to the current value of cell B1,
and displays the result in cell C2.
There are two types of cell references: relative and absolute.
Relative Cell Reference
A relative cell reference changes according to its location on the spreadsheet. The cell reference "= A1" in cell
C2, for example, is a reference to the cell located "two columns to the left and one cell up" from the current
cell (C2, in this case). Because of this, if we copy the contents of cell C2 and paste them into cell D12, for
example, the cell reference changes automatically to "= B11", because B11 is two columns to the left and one
cell up from cell D12. Be sure to remember that relative cell references always change dynamically in this way
whenever you move them using copy and paste.
Absolute Cell Reference
An absolute cell reference does not change, regardless of where it is located or where it is copied to or moved
to. You can make both the row and column of a cell reference absolute, or you can make only the row or only
the column of a cell reference absolute, as described below.
This cell reference:
$A$1
$A1
A$1
Let's say, for example, that a reference to cell A1 is in cell C1. The following shows what each of the above
cell references would become if the contents of cell C1 were copied to cell D12.
$A$1 → $A$1
Note
• If the result of a copy-and-paste operation causes a relative cell reference name to change to
something that is outside the range of the spreadsheet cells, the applicable column letter and/or row
number is replaced by a question mark (?), and "ERROR" is displayed as the cell's data.
To input a cell reference name using direct input
For example, to input "= A1+5" into cell B1, move the cursor to cell B1 and perform the operation below.
