SCOUG OS/2 For You - May 1999
Mr. Know-It-All has the answers to even the really tough questions.
Q. Dear Mr. Know-It-All, When I sum a column of calculated numbers in Mesa 2, sometimes the result is off by a penny. I've set the display format to currency. What am I doing wrong? A. The display format has no effect on Mesa's calculations. Mesa 2 uses actual values for all. You need to round the intermediate values yourself. For example, if you have the formula: This will often result in more than 2 significant fractional digits. Change the formula to: and your columns will sum the way you expect.
I just installed an S3 video card in my system and now whenever I maximize a DeScribe window, the display is fuzzy. DeScribe is my favorite word processor. What can I do? A. In DeScribe under Options->Preferences->Document, turn on Vertical Rulers. This changes the font sizing and corrects the display. The fuzzy display can also occur for non-maximized windows. In this case, just change the window size enough to correct the display. Do not try to edit a document while the display is fuzzy. This will eventually crash DeScribe or the Workplace Shell.
OS/2 is his specialty and sharing solutions is his passion Mr. Know-It-All lives in Southern California.
