Maybe it's a difference between the different language settings, or the operating system. I'm using LO Version 3.6.6.2 (Build ID: f969faf) on Windows 7 64-bit, and my language setting is USA English. First I copied the formula from below, including the curly brackets, and pasted it into

Hi. I am on 3.6.3. I get the effect you describe under Finally in your reply all the time. Possibly this was an over complicated example. A more simple example would be to have the contents =C4 (no ) in a cell as text displaying as =C4 and not equal to the contents of C4. Steve On 2013-06-13

The single-' works in front of numerals. Sometimes it works in front of a formula and sometimes it doesn't. Typing a space before the = or the {= seems to work consistently instead. Good idea. I just checked in LibO 4.0.1.2 on Windows XP SP3. -Original Message- From: Brian Barker
