5. place the mouse cursor where the shape should be added,
6. once the autoshape is added, you can change its size, position and properties.
Note: to add a caption to an autoshape, make sure the required shape is selected on
the page and start typing your text. The added text becomes a part of the autoshape
(when you move or rotate the shape, the text moves or rotates with it).
It''s also possible to add a caption to the autoshape.
Move and resize autoshapes
To change the autoshape size, drag small squares situated on the shape edges. To maintain
the original proportions of the selected autoshape while resizing, hold down the Shift key and
drag one of the corner icons.
When modifying some shapes, for example figured arrows or callouts, the yellow diamond-
shaped icon is also available. It allows you to adjust some aspects of the shape, for example,
the length of the head of an arrow.
To alter the autoshape position, use the icon that appears after hovering your mouse
cursor over the autoshape. Drag the autoshape to the required position without releasing the
mouse button. When you move the autoshape, the guide lines are displayed to help you
precisely position the object on the page (if the selected wrapping style is not inline). To move
the autoshape by one-pixel increments, hold down the Ctrl key and use the keybord arrows. To
move the autoshape strictly horizontally/vertically and prevent it from moving in a
perpendicular direction, hold down the Shift key when dragging.To rotate the autoshape, hover the mouse cursor over the rotation handle and drag it
clockwise or counterclockwise. To constrain the rotation angle to 15 degree increments, hold
down the Shift key while rotating.

· Wrapping Style - use this option to change the way the shape is positioned relative to
the text: it will either be a part of the text (in case you select the inline style) or bypassed
by it from all sides (if you select one of the other styles).
o Inline - the shape is considered to be a part of the text, like a character,
so when the text moves, the shape moves as well. In this case the positioning
options are inaccessible.
o If one of the following styles is selected, the shape can be moved independently
of the text and positioned on the page exactly:
o Square - the text wraps the rectangular box that bounds the shape.
o Tight - the text wraps the actual shape edges.
o Through - the text wraps around the shape edges and fills in the open
white space within the shape. So that the effect can appear, use the Edit Wrap
Boundary option from the right-click menu.
o Top and bottom - the text is only above and below the shape.o In front - the shape overlaps the text.
o Behind - the text overlaps the shape.
If you select the square, tight, through, or top and bottom styles, you will be able to set up
some additional parameters - distance from text at all sides (top, bottom, left, right).
The Position tab is available only if the selected wrapping style is not inline. This tab contains
the following parameters that vary depending on the selected wrapping style:

wish to display by selecting the necessary option from the drop-down list: Major,Minor,
orMajor and Minor. You can hide the gridlines at all using the None option.
Note: the Axis Settings and Gridlines sections will be disabled for Pie charts since
charts of this type have no axes and gridlines.Note: the Vertical/Horizontal Axis tabs will be disabled for Pie charts since charts of
this type have no axes.
The Vertical Axis tab allows you to change the parameters of the vertical axis also
referred to as the values axis or y-axis which displays numeric values. Note that the
vertical axis will be the category axis which displays text labels for the Bar charts,
therefore in this case the Vertical Axis tab options will correspond to the ones
described in the next section. For the XY (Scatter) charts, both axes are value axes.
· The Axis Options section allows setting the following parameters:
· Minimum Value - is used to specify the lowest value displayed at the
vertical axis start. The Auto option is selected by default, in this case the
minimum value is calculated automatically depending on the selected
data range. You can select the Fixed option from the drop-down list and
specify a different value in the entry field on the right.
· Maximum Value - is used to specify the highest value displayed at the
vertical axis end. The Auto option is selected by default, in this case the

from the drop-down list and specify a different value in the entry field on
the right, or set the axes intersection point at theMinimum/Maximum
Value on the vertical axis.
· Display Units - is used to determine the representation of the numeric
values along the vertical axis. This option can be useful if you''re working
with great numbers and wish the values on the axis to be displayed in a
more compact and readable way (e.g. you can represent 50 000 as 50 by
using the Thousands display units). Select desired units from the drop-
down list: Hundreds, Thousands, 10 000, 100 000,Millions, 10 000
000, 100 000 000, Billions, Trillions, or choose the None option to return
to the default units.
· Values in reverse order - is used to display values in the opposite

Create a Table of Contents
A table of contents contains a list of all the chapters (sections, etc.) in a document and displays
the numbers of the pages where each chapter begins. It allows easily navigating through a
multi-page document and quickly switching to the required part of the text. The table of
contents is generated automatically on the basis of the document headings formatted using
built-in styles. This makes it easy to update the created table of contents without having to edit
the headings and change the page numbers manually if the text of the document has been
changed.
Define the heading structure
Format headings
First of all, format the headings in your document using one of the predefined styles. To do
that,
1. Select the text you want to include into the table of contents.
2. Open the style menu on the right side of the Home tab at the top toolbar.
3. Click the required style to be applied. By default, you can use the Heading 1 - Heading
9 styles.
Note: if you want to use other styles (e.g. Title, Subtitle etc.) to format headings that will
be included into the table of contents, you will need to adjust the table of contents
settings first (see the corresponding section below).
Manage headingsOnce the headings are formatted, you can click the Navigation icon on the left sidebar to
open the panel that displays the list of all headings with corresponding nesting levels. This
panel allows easily navigating between headings in the document text as well as managing the
heading structure.
Right-click on a heading in the list and use one of the available options from the menu:
· Promote - to move the currently selected heading up to the higher level in the
hierarchical structure, e.g. change it from Heading 2 to Heading 1.
· Demote - to move the currently selected heading down to the lower level in the
hierarchical structure, e.g. change it from Heading 1 to Heading 2.
· New heading before - to add a new empty heading of the same level before the
currently selected one.
· New heading after - to add a new empty heading of the same level after the currently
selected one.
· New subheading - to add a new empty subheading (i.e. a heading with lower level) after
the currently selected heading.
When the heading or subheading is added, click on the added empty heading in the list
and type in your own text. This can be done both in the document text and on
the Navigation panel itself.
· Select content - to select the text below the current heading in the document (including
the text related to all subheadings of this heading).
· Expand all - to expand all levels of headings at the Navigation panel.
· Collapse all - to collapse all levels of headings, excepting level 1, at
the Navigation panel.
· Expand to level - to expand the heading structure to the selected level. E.g. if you
select level 3, then levels 1, 2 and 3 will be expanded, while level 4 and all lower levels
will be collapsed.To manually expand or collapse separate heading levels, use the arrows to the left of the
headings.
To close the Navigation panel, click the Navigation icon on the left sidebar once again.

Mail merge
Use Mail Merge
Note: this option is available in the online version only.
TheMail Merge feature is used to create a set of documents combining a common content
which is taken from a text document and some individual components (variables, such as
names, greetings etc.) taken from a spreadsheet (for example, a customer list). It can be useful
if you need to create a lot of personalized letters and send them to recipients.
To start working with theMail Merge feature,

1. A data source used for the mail merge must be an .xlsx spreadsheet stored on
your portal. Open an existing spreadsheet or create a new one and make sure
that it meets the following requirements.
The spreadsheet should have a header row with the column titles, as values in
the first cell of each column will designate merge fields (i.e. variables that you
can insert into the text). Each column should contain a set of actual values for a
variable. Each row in the spreadsheet should correspond to a separate record
(i.e. a set of values that belongs to a certain recipient). During the merge process,
a copy of the main document will be created for each record and each merge
field inserted into the main text will be replaced with an actual value from the
corresponding column. If you are goung to send results by email, the
spreadsheet must also include a column with the recipients'' email addresses.
2. Open an existing text document or create a new one. It must contain the main
text which will be the same for each version of the merged document. Click

· enter the desired numeric/literal value using the keyboard,
· insert a special character using the Symbols palette from the Equationmenu on
the Insert tab of the top toolbar or typing them from the keyboard (see the Math
AutoСorrect option description),
· add another equation template from the palette to create a complex nested equation.
The size of the primary equation will be automatically adjusted to fit its content. The size
of the nested equation elements depends on the primary equation placeholder size, but
it cannot be smaller than the sub-subscript size.
To add some new equation elements you can also use the right-click menu options:
· To add a new argument that goes before or after the existing one within Brackets, you
can right-click on the existing argument and select the Insert argument
before/after option from the menu.
· To add a new equation within Cases with several conditions from the Brackets group (or

Additional info on the comparison feature
Method of comparison
Documents are compared by words. If a word contains a change of at least one character (e.g.
if a character was removed or replaced), in the result, the difference will be displayed as the
change of the entire word, not the character.
The image below illustrates the case when the original file contains the word ''Characters'' and
the document for comparison contains the word ''Character''.
Authorship of the document
When the comparison process is launched, the second document for comparison is being
loaded and compared to the current one.
· If the loaded document contains some data which is not represented in the original
document, the data will be marked as added by a reviewer.
· If the original document contains some data which is not represented in the loaded
document, the data will be marked as deleted by a reviewer.
If the authors of the original and loaded documents are the same person, the reviewer is the
same user. His/her name is displayed in the change balloon.
If the authors of two files are different users, then the author of the second file loaded for
comparison is the author of the added/removed changes.
Presence of the tracked changes in the compared document
If the original document contains some changes made in the review mode, they will be
accepted in the comparison process. When you choose the second file for comparison, you''ll
see the corresponding warning message.
In this case, when you choose the Original display mode, the document will not contain any
changes.Plugins

the File tab -> Advanced Settings -> Proofing -> AutoCorrect Options.
The AutoCorrect dialog box consists of three tabs: Math Autocorrect, Recognized Functions,
and AutoFormat As You Type.
Math AutoCorrect
When working with equations, you can insert a lot of symbols, accents, and mathematical
operation signs typing them on the keyboard instead of choosing a template from the gallery.
In the equation editor, place the insertion point within the necessary placeholder, type a math
autocorrect code, then press Spacebar. The entered code will be converted into the
corresponding symbol, and the space will be eliminated.
Note: The codes are case sensitive.
You can add, modify, restore, and remove autocorrect entries from the AutoCorrect list. Go to
the File tab -> Advanced Settings -> Proofing -> AutoCorrect Options ->Math AutoCorrect.

Removing entries from the AutoCorrect list
· Select an entry to remove from the list.
· Click the Delete button.
To restore the previously deleted entries, select the entry to be restored from the list and click

will be removed and the changed ones will be restored to their original values.
To disable Math AutoCorrect and to avoid automatic changes and replacements, uncheck
the Replace text as you type box.
The table below contains all the currently supported codes available in the Document Editor.
The full list of the supported codes can also be found on the File tab -> Advanced
Settings -> Proofing -> AutoCorrect Options ->Math AutoCorrect.
The supported codesRecognized Functions
In this tab, you will find the list of math expressions that will be recognized by the Equation
editor as functions and therefore will not be automatically italicized. For the list of recognized
functions go to the File tab -> Advanced Settings -> Proofing -> AutoCorrect
Options -> Recognized Functions.
To add an entry to the list of recognized functions, enter the function in the blank field and click
the Add button.

removed and the removed ones will be restored.

By default, the editor formats the text while you are typing according to the auto-formatting
presets, for instance, it automatically starts a bullet list or a numbered list when a list is
detected, or replaces quotation marks, or converts hyphens to dashes.If you need to disable auto-formatting presets, uncheck the box for the unnecessary options, go
to the File tab -> Advanced Settings -> Proofing -> AutoCorrect Options -> AutoFormat As
You Type.

selection.
o Columns - leave the Select All option selected by default or uncheck it and
select the necessary columns only.
4. Click the OK button.
The duplicate values from the selected data range will be removed, and you will see the window
that contains the information on how many duplicate values have been removed and how
many unique values have been left:If you want to restore the removed data right after deletion, use the Undo icon on the top
toolbar or the Ctrl+Z key combination.
Conditional Formatting
Note: the ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor currently does not support creating and editing
conditional formatting rules.
Conditional formatting allows you to apply various formatting styles (color, font, decoration,
gradient) to cells to work with data on the spreadsheet: highlight or sort through and display
the data that meets the needed criteria. The criteria are defined by several rule types. The
ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor currently does not support creating and editing conditional
formatting rules.
Rule types supported in the ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor View mode are cell value
(+formula), top/bottom and above/below average value, unique values
and duplicates, icon sets, data bars, gradient (color scale), and formula-based rules.
· Cell value is used to find needed numbers, dates, and text within the spreadsheet. For
example, you need to see sales for the current month (pink highlight), products named
“Grain” (yellow highlight), and product sales amounting to less than $500 (blue
highlight).· Cell value with formula is used to display a dynamically changed number or text value
within the spreadsheet. For example, you need to find products named “Grain”,
“Produce”, or “Dairy” (yellow highlight), or product sales amounting to a value between
$100 and $500 (blue highlight).
· Top and bottom value / Above and below average value is used to find and display
the top and bottom values as well as above and below average values within the
spreadsheet. For example, you need to see top values for fees in the cities you visited
(orange highlight), the cities where the attendance was above average (green highlight),
and bottom values for cities where you sold a small number of books (blue highlight).· Unique / Duplicates is used to display duplicate values within the spreadsheet and the
cell range defined by the conditional formatting. For example, you need to find duplicate
contacts. Enter the drop-down menu. The number of duplicates is shown to the right of
the contact name. If you check the box, only the duplicates will be shown on the list.
· Icon set is used to show the data by displaying a corresponding icon in the cell that
meets the criteria. The Spreadsheet Editor supports various icon sets. Below you will
find examples for the most common icon set conditional formatting cases.
o Instead of numbers and percent values, you see formatted cells with
corresponding arrows showing you revenue achievement in the “Status” column
and the dynamics for trends in the future in the “Trend” column.
o Instead of cells with rating numbers ranging from 1 to 5, the conditional
formatting tool displays corresponding icons from the legend map at the top for
each bike in the rating list.o Instead of manually comparing monthly profit dynamics data, the formatted cells
have a corresponding red or green arrow.
o Use the traffic lights system (red, yellow, and green circles) to visualize sales
dynamics.
· Data bars are used to compare values in the form of a diagram bar. For example,
compare mountain heights by displaying their default value in meters (green bar) and
the same value in 0 to 100 percent range (yellow bar); percentile when extreme values
slant the data (light blue bar); bars only instead of numbers (blue bar); two-column data
analysis to see both numbers and bars (red bar).· Gradient, or color scale, is used to highlight values within the spreadsheet through a
gradient scale. The columns from “Dairy” through “Beverage” display data via a two-color
scale with variation from yellow to red; the “Total Sales” column displays data via a
three-color scale from the smallest amount in red to the largest amount in blue.
· Formula-based formatting uses various formulas to filter data as per specific needs. For
example, you can shade alternate rows,compare with a reference value (here it is $55), and show if it is higher (green) or lower
(red),
highlight the rows that meet the needed criteria (see what goals you shall achieve this
month, in this case, it is October),and highlight unique rows only
Data validation
The ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor offers a data validation feature that controls the
parameters of the information entered in cells by users.To access the data validation feature, choose a cell, a range of cells, or a whole spreadsheet you
want to apply the feature to, open the Data tab, and click the Data Validation icon on the top
toolbar. The opened Data Validation window contains three tabs: Settings, Input Message,

Work with functions
Insert function
The ability to perform basic calculations is the principal reason for using a spreadsheet. Some
of them are performed automatically when you select a cell range in your spreadsheet:
· Average is used to analyze the selected cell range and find the average value.
· Count is used to count the number of the selected cells with values ignoring the empty
cells.
· Min is used to analyze the range of data and find the smallest number.
· Max is used to analyze the range of data and find the largest number.
· Sum is used to add all the numbers in the selected range ignoring the empty cells or
those contaning text.
The results of these calculations are displayed in the right lower corner on the status bar. You
can manage the status bar by right-clicking on it and choosing only those functions to display

Use named ranges
Names are meaningful notations that can be assigned to a cell or cell range and used to
simplify working with formulas. Creating a formula, you can insert a name as its argument
instead of using a reference to a cell range. For example, if you assign the Annual_Income name
to a cell range, it will be possible to enter =SUM(Annual_Income) instead of =SUM(B1:B12). Thus,
formulas become clearer. This feature can also be useful in case a lot of formulas are referred
to one and the same cell range. If the range address is changed, you can make the correction
once by using the Name Manager instead of editing all the formulas one by one.
There are two types of names that can be used:· Defined name – an arbitrary name that you can specify for a certain cell range. Defined
names also include the names created automatically when setting up print areas.
· Table name – a default name that is automatically assigned to a new formatted
table (Table1, Table2 etc.). You can edit this name later.
If you have created a slicer for a formatted table, an automatically assigned slicer name will also
be displayed in the Name Manager (Slicer_Column1, Slicer_Column2 etc. This name consists of
the Slicer_ part and the field name corresponding to the column header from the source data
set). You can edit this name later.
Names are also classified by Scope, i.e. the location where a name is recognized. A name can
be scoped to the whole workbook (it will be recognized for any worksheet within this workbook)
or to a separate worksheet (it will be recognized for the specified worksheet only). Each name
must be unique within a single scope, the same names can be used within different scopes.
Create new names
To create a new defined name for a selection:
1. Select a cell or cell range you want to assign a name to.
2. Open a new name window in a suitable way:
· Right-click the selection and choose the Define Name option from the
contextual menu,
· or click the Named ranges icon on the Home tab of the top toolbar and
select the Define Name option from the menu.
· or click the Named ranges button on the Formula tab of the top toolbar
and select the Name manager option from the menu. Choose option New in
the opened window.
The New Name window will open:
3. Enter the necessary Name in the text entry field.
Note: a name cannot start with a number, contain spaces or punctuation marks.
Underscores (_) are allowed. Case does not matter.4. Specify the name Scope. The Workbook scope is selected by default, but you can specify
an individual worksheet selecting it from the list.
5. Check the selected Data Range address. If necessary, you can change it. Click
the icon - the Select Data Range window will open.
Change the link to the cell range in the entry field or select a new range on the
worksheet with the mouse and click OK.
6. Click OK to save the new name.
To quickly create a new name for the selected cell range, you can also enter the desired name
into the name box located to the left of the the formula bar and press Enter. The name created
in such a way is scoped to the Workbook.
Manage names
All the existing names can be accessed via the Name Manager. To open it:
· click the Named ranges icon on the Home tab of the top toolbar and select
the Name manager option from the menu,
· or click the arrow in the name field and select the Name Manager option.
The Name Manager window will open:For your convenience, you can filter the names selecting the name category you want to be
displayed: All, Defined names, Table names, Names Scoped to Sheet or Names Scoped to
Workbook. The names that belong to the selected category will be displayed in the list, the
other names will be hidden.
To change the sort order for the displayed list, you can click on the Named
Ranges or Scope titles in this window.
To edit a name, select it in the list and click the Edit button. The Edit Name window will open:
For a defined name, you can change the name and the data range it refers to. For a table name,
you can change the name only. When all the necessary changes are made, click OK to apply
them. To discard the changes, click Cancel. If the edited name is used in a formula, the formula
will be automatically changed accordingly.
To delete a name, select it in the list and click the Delete button.Note: if you delete the name that is used in a formula, the formula will no longer work (it will
return the #NAME? error).
You can also create a new name in the Name Manager window by clicking the New button.
Use names when working with the spreadsheet
To quickly navigate through cell ranges, you can click the arrow in the name box and select
the necessary name from the name list – the data range that corresponds to this name will be
selected in the worksheet.
Note: the name list displays the defined names and table names scoped to the current
worksheet and to the whole workbook.
To add a name as an argument of a formula:
1. Place the insertion point where you need to add a name.
1. Make one of the following steps:
· enter the name of the necessary named range manually using the keyboard.
Once you type the initial letters, the Formula Autocomplete list will be
displayed. As you type, the items (formulas and names) that match the entered
characters are displayed in it. You can select the necessary defined
name or table name from the list and insert it into the formula by double-
clicking it or pressing the Tab key.
· or click the Named ranges icon on the Home tab of the top toolbar, select
the Paste name option from the menu, choose the necessary name from
the Paste Name window and click OK:Note: the Paste Name window displays the defined names and table names scoped to the
current worksheet and to the whole workbook.
To use a name as an internal hyperlink:
1. Place the insertion point where you need to add a hyperlink.
2. Go to the Insert tab and click the Hyperlink button.
3. In the opened Hyperlink Settings window, select the Internal Data Range tab and
choose a named range.
4. Click OK.Operations on objects

from the drop-down list and specify a different value in the entry field on the right.
· Axis Crosses - is used to specify a point on the vertical axis where the horizontal axis
should cross it. The Auto option is selected by default, in this case the axes intersection
point value is calculated automatically depending on the selected data range. You can
select the Value option from the drop-down list and specify a different value in the
entry field on the right, or set the axes intersection point at the Minimum/Maximum
Value on the vertical axis.
· Display Units - is used to determine the representation of the numeric values along the
vertical axis. This option can be useful if you''re working with great numbers and wish
the values on the axis to be displayed in a more compact and readable way (e.g. you can
represent 50 000 as 50 by using the Thousands display units). Select desired units from
the drop-down list: Hundreds, Thousands, 10 000, 100 000,Millions, 10 000 000, 100
000 000, Billions, Trillions, or choose the None option to return to the default units.
· Values in reverse order - is used to display values in the opposite direction. When the
box is unchecked, the lowest value is at the bottom and the highest value is at the top of
the axis. When the box is checked, the values are ordered from top to bottom.
· The Tick Options section allows adjusting the appearance of tick marks on the vertical
scale. Major tick marks are the larger scale divisions which can have labels displaying
numeric values. Minor tick marks are the scale subdivisions which are placed between
the major tick marks and have no labels. Tick marks also define where gridlines can be
displayed if the corresponding option is set on the Layout tab. TheMajor/Minor
Type drop-down lists contain the following placement options:
o None to not display major/minor tick marks,

o High to display tick mark labels to the right of the plot area,
o Next to axis to display tick mark labels next to the axis.
o To specify a Label Format click the Label Format button and choose a category
as it deems appropriate.
Available label format categories:
· General
· Number
· Scientific
· Accounting
· Currency
· Date
· Time
· Percentage

Label format options vary depending on the selected category.
o Check Linked to source to keep number formatting from the data source in the
chart.
Note: Secondary axes are supported in Combo charts only.
Secondary axes are useful in Combo charts when data series vary considerably or mixed types
of data are used to plot a chart. Secondary Axes make it easier to read and understand a
combo chart.
The Secondary Vertical /Horizontal Axis tab appears when you choose an appropriate data
series for a combo chart. All the settings and options on the Secondary Vertical/Horizontal
Axis tab are the same as the settings on the Vertical/Horizontal Axis. For a detailed description
of the Vertical/Horizontal Axis options, see description above/below.The Horizontal Axis tab allows you to change the parameters of the horizontal axis also
referred to as the categories axis or x-axis which displays text labels. Note that the horizontal
axis will be the value axis which displays numeric values for the Bar charts, therefore in this
case the Horizontal Axis tab options will correspond to the ones described in the previous
section. For the XY (Scatter) charts, both axes are value axes.
· select Hide to hide horizontal axis in the chart, leave it unchecked to have horizontal
axis displayed.
· specify Title orientation by selecting the necessary option from the drop-down list:
o None when you don’t want to display a horizontal axis title,
o No Overlay to display the title below the horizontal axis,
· Gridlines is used to specigy the Horizontal Gridlines to display by selecting the
necessary option from the drop-down list: None, Major,Minor, orMajor and
Minor. .
· Axis Crosses - is used to specify a point on the horizontal axis where the vertical axis
should cross it. The Auto option is selected by default, in this case the axes
intersection point value is calculated automatically depending on the selected data
range. You can select the Value option from the drop-down list and specify a
different value in the entry field on the right, or set the axes intersection point attheMinimum/Maximum Value (that corresponds to the first and last category) on
the horizontal axis.

Marks or Between Tick Marks.
· Values in reverse order - is used to display categories in the opposite direction.
When the box is unchecked, categories are displayed from left to right. When the box
is checked, the categories are ordered from right to left.
· The Tick Options section allows adjusting the appearance of tick marks on the
horizontal scale. Major tick marks are the larger divisions which can have labels
displaying category values. Minor tick marks are the smaller divisions which are
placed between the major tick marks and have no labels. Tick marks also define
where gridlines can be displayed if the corresponding option is set on
the Layout tab. You can adjust the following tick mark parameters:

o Reverse order - check this box to display data in the reverse sequence.
· In the Vertical Axis section, the following parameters are available:
o Minimum/Maximum Value
§ Auto for Each - this option is selected by default. It allows you to use own
minimum/maximum values for each sparkline. The minimum/maximum
values are taken from the separate data series that are used to plot each
sparkline. The maximum value for each sparkline will be located at the
top of the cell, and the minimum value will be at the bottom.§ Same for All - this option allows you to use the same
minimum/maximum value for the entire sparkline group. The
minimum/maximum values are taken from the whole data range that is
used to plot the sparkline group. The maximum/minimum values for
each sparkline will be scaled relative to the highest/lowest value within
the range. If you select this option, it will be easier to compare several
sparklines.
§ Fixed - this option allows you to set a custom minimum/maximum value.
The values which are lower or higher than the specified ones are not

Insert equations
Spreadsheet Editor allows you to build equations using the built-in templates, edit them,
insert special characters (including mathematical operators, Greek letters, accents etc.).
Add a new equation
To insert an equation from the gallery,
1. switch to the Insert tab of the top toolbar,
2. click the arrow next to the Equation icon on the top toolbar,
3. in the opened drop-down list, select the equation category you need. The following
categories are currently available: Symbols, Fractions, Scripts, Radicals, Integrals, Large
Operators, Brackets, Functions, Accents, Limits and Logarithms, Operators, Matrices,
4. click the certain symbol/equation in the corresponding set of templates.
The selected symbol/equation will be added to the worksheet.
The upper left corner of the equation box will coincide with the upper left corner of the
currently selected cell, but the equation box can be freely moved, resized or rotated in the
sheet. To do that, click on the equation box border (it will be displayed as a solid line) and
use corresponding handles.
Each equation template represents a set of slots. A slot is a position of each element that
makes up the equation. An empty slot (also called as a placeholder) has a dotted outline . You
need to fill in all the placeholders specifying the necessary values.
Enter values
The insertion point specifies where the next character will appear. To position the insertion
point precisely, click within a placeholder and use the keyboard arrows to move the insertion
point by one character left/right.
Once the insertion point is positioned, you can fill in the placeholder:· enter the desired numeric/literal value using the keyboard,
· insert a special character using the Symbols palette from the Equationmenu on
the Insert tab of the top toolbar or typing them from the keyboard,
· add another equation template from the palette to create a complex nested equation.
The size of the primary equation will be automatically adjusted to fit its content. The size
of the nested equation elements depends on the primary equation placeholder size, but
it cannot be smaller than the sub-subscript size.
To add some new equation elements, you can also use the right-click menu options:
· To add a new argument that goes before or after the existing one within Brackets, you
can right-click on the existing argument and select the Insert argument
before/after option from the menu.
· To add a new equation within Cases with several conditions from the Brackets group, you
can right-click on an empty placeholder or entered equation within it and select
the Insert equation before/after option from the menu.
· To add a new row or a column in a Matrix, you can right-click on a placeholder within it,
select the Insert option from the menu, then select Row Above/Below or Column
Left/Right.
Note: currently, equations cannot be entered using the linear format, i.e. \sqrt(4&x^3).
When entering the values of the mathematical expressions, you do not need to
use Spacebar because the spaces between the characters and signs of operations are set
automatically.
If the equation is too long and does not fit a single line within the equation box, automatic line
breaking occurs while you type. You can also insert a line break in a specific position by right-
clicking on a mathematical operator and selecting the Insert manual break option from the
menu. The selected operator will start a new line. To delete the added manual line break, right-
click on the mathematical operator that starts a new line and select the Delete manual
break option.

The Spreadsheet Editor allows you to change its general advanced settings. To access them,
open the File tab on the top toolbar and select the Advanced Settings... option. You can also
click the View settings icon on the right side of the editor header and select the Advanced
settings option.
The General advanced settings are:
· Commenting Display is used to turn on/off the live commenting option:
o Turn on display of the comments - if you disable this feature, the commented
cells will be marked in the sheet only if you click the Comments icon on the
left sidebar.
o Turn on display of the resolved comments - this feature is disabled by default
to hide the resolved comments in the sheet. You can view such comments only if
you click the Comments icon on the left sidebar. Enable this option if you
want to display the resolved comments in the sheet.
· Autosave is used in the online version to turn on/off automatic saving of changes made
during the editing process.
· Autorecover - is used in the desktop version to turn on/off the option that allows you to
automatically recover spreadsheets if the program closes unexpectedly.
· Reference Style is used to turn on/off the R1C1 reference style. By default, this option
is disabled and the A1 reference style is used.
When the A1 reference style is used, columns are designated by letters, and rows are
designated by numbers. If you select the cell located in row 3 and column 2, its address
displayed in the box to the left of the the formula bar looks like this: B3. If the R1C1
reference style is enabled, both rows and columns are designated by numbers. If you
select the cell at the intersection of row 3 and column 2, its address will look like
this: R3C2. Letter R indicates the row number and letter C indicates the column number.
In case you refer to other cells using the R1C1 reference style, the reference to a target
cell is formed based on the distance from an active cell. For example, when you select
the cell in row 5 and column 1 and refer to the cell in row 3 and column 2, the reference
is R[-2]C[1]. The numbers in square brackets designate the position of the cell relative to
the current cell position, i.e. the target cell is 2 rows up and 1 column to the right of the
active cell. If you select the cell in row 1 and column 2 and refer to the same cell in row 3and column 2, the reference is R[2]C, i.e. the target cell is 2 rows down from the active
cell and in the same column.
· Co-editing Mode is used to select how the changes made during the co-editing are
displayed:
o By default, the Fastmode is selected, and the co-authors will see all the changes
in real time as soon as they are made by others.
o If you prefer not to see the changes made by other users (so that they do not
disturb you), select the Strictmode, and all the changes will be shown only after
you click the Save icon, and you will be informed that there are changes by
other users.
· Interface theme is used to change the color scheme of the editor’s interface.
o Light color scheme incorporates standard green, white, and light-gray colors
with less contrast in UI elements suitable for working during daytime.
o Classic Light color scheme incorporates standard green, white, and light-gray
colors.
o Dark color scheme incorporates black, dark-gray, and light-gray colors suitable
for working during nighttime.
· Default Zoom Value is used to set the default zoom value by selecting it in the list of
available options from 50% to 200%.
· Font Hinting is used to specify how a font is displayed in the Spreadsheet Editor:
o Choose As Windows to display fonts in the same manner as on a Mac, i.e.
without any font hinting at all.
o Choose As OS if you like the way fonts are usually displayed on a Mac, i.e.
without any font hinting at all.
o Choose Native to display the text with hinting embedded into the font files.
o Default cache mode - used to select the cache mode for the font characters. It’s
not recommended to switch it without any reason. It can be helpful in some
cases only, for example, when an issue with the enabled hardware acceleration
in the Google Chrome browser occurs.
The Spreadsheet Editor has two cache modes:
1. In the first cache mode, each letter is cached as a separate picture.
2. In the second cache mode, a picture of a certain size is selected where letters
are placed dynamically and a mechanism of allocating/removing memory in thispicture is also implemented. If there is not enough memory, a second picture is
created, etc.
The Default cache mode setting applies two above mentioned cache modes separately
for different browsers:
o When the Default cache mode setting is enabled, Internet Explorer (v. 9, 10, 11)
uses the second cache mode, other browsers use the first cache mode.
o When the Default cache mode setting is disabled, Internet Explorer (v. 9, 10, 11)
uses the first cache mode, other browsers use the second cache mode.
· Unit of Measurement is used to specify what units are used for measuring elements
parameters such as width, height, spacing, margins etc. You can select
the Centimeter, Point, or Inch option.
· Formula Language is used to select the language for displaying and entering formula
names.
· Regional Settings is used to select the default display format for currency and date and
time.
· Separator is used to specify the characters that you want to use as separators for
decimals and thousands. The Use separators based on regional settings option is
selected by default. If you want to use custom separators, uncheck this box and enter
the necessary characters in the Decimal separator and Thousands separator fields
below.
· Cut, copy and paste - used to show the Paste Options button when content is pasted.
Check the box to enable this feature.
· Macros Settings - used to set macros display with a notification.
o Choose Disable all to disable all macros within the spreadsheet;
o Show notification to receive notifications about macros within the spreadsheet;
o Enable all to automatically run all macros within the spreadsheet.
To save the changes you made, click the Apply button.
