<h3>Why do I see the formula text and not the result of the formula?</h3>
<p>In OOo Calc <i>all formulas</i> must start with the equal sign (<code>=</code>).*</p>
<p>If your formula does start with an <code>=</code> character, then
check that the options are set to not view the formula. Go to <b>Tools
&gt; Options</b>; then, in <b>Spreadsheet &gt; View</b> verify that
there is no "tick mark" in the box beside the <b>Formulas</b>
selection.</p>
<p>*This is a difference between Calc and MS-Excel(R).</p>
