Figure 22. A Blank Multiplan Screen
The Multiplan spreadsheet is a rectangular grid of rows and columns. Row
numbers appear down the left side of the spreadsheet. Column numbers
appear across the top of the screen.
Each intersection of a row and column is a "cell." You enter, calculate,
and manipulate text, formulas, and numbers using cells. The row and
column location of a cell is its "cell reference," which identifies the cell.
(For example, the cell reference for the cell in Row 1, Column I is RIC I.)
Highlight a cell with the cursor to select it for editing or other operations.
