Hello,

My mother is an absolute computer nut, but she wants codes. She want to have a paper (A4) with all the codes to make calcs in calc. (Like sum A1, A2, etc) I told her that it just doesn't exist, but she don't believe me. Can you help me out?

Hello

If you look here http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_Functions_listed_by_category you'll find formulas and how they work.

Any old book like "Start with Excel '95" will do. She could also print out the help pages or better print the wiki pages you need. However, the function reference will not serve anybody. You need to understand what a function is (input and output, numbers and strings, references and constants, absolute and relataive addresses).

Try contacting the author and see if he has the material in a text form that you might be able to convert to a PDF for your mother. He is a forum member. If he does and you can, I am sure lots of others here would be happy to see it too. Smile

Buy her "Excel for dummies". From the sounds of her attitude though, I'd mail it, not hand it to her. Smile

Print this out for a start at least:
