[QUOTE="MBP17•David, post: 1583531, member: 320225"] Ah, it's making more sense to me now - if you want to calculate formulae, rather than just display them, you'd need an app, capable of working these out, like Calc in OpenOffice or Numbers, etc, etc. Writer (and I'm sure, Pages) can do simple sums, but not complex calculations. In this case it is very simple: [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-05-18at230212_zpsa8774180.png~original[/IMG] However, if you expect a computer to simultaneously display and understand/calculate a formula, I'm afraid we're still quite a few years away from such capabilities being available to general public ;) [/QUOTE]
