Chapter 7. The KSpread Configuration Dialog Box

Selecting Settings-> Configure Kspread... opens a dialog box with several pages, selected with the icons at the left of the dialog box, which allow you to change many aspects of KSpread's operation.

Preferences

This page has a number of checkboxes which control how items are displayed, entered or calculated:

Show formula

If this box is checked KSpread will display the actual formulae in cells rather than the results.

Show formula indicator

If this box is checked KSpread will display a small blue triangle at the bottom left corner of cells containing formulae.

Show grid

Controls whether or not the sheet grid lines are shown.

Show column number

If this box is checked the column headings will show as numbers rather than as letters.

LC mode

If this box is checked the cell reference shown at the left end of the Formula Bar will be displayed in LC mode (i.e. L2C3) rather than in its normal form B3. This does not seem to be of much use at the moment.

Automatic recalculation

Controls whether formulae are recalculated automatically when the value of any cell they refer to changes.

Hide zero

If this box is checked any cell containing the value zero will appear blank.

Convert first letter to upper case

Check this box and the first letter of any text you type in will automatically be converted to upper case.
