What is Touch?
 
It shows up when I right click an item but it doesn't do anything.
 
Or at least, I don't notice that it does anything.

Touch:
 
When you have equations (either row or column), and you change a
value, dependant cells are updated. When you "touch" a cell, it does the
same thing, except that you don't need to make any changes, it updates
dependant cells
 
 
Recalc:
 
The "converse" of touch... It recalculates a given cell, based on its dependants

Cool. and... thank you. I am starting to go through more of the examples.
 
How can I add what you just wrote to the manual?

I've already put it in the working glossary.
It also needs to go in the "Default Item Context Menu/Toolbars"--I redid the graphic with cross-reference numbers today, and put heading text at the bottom, but haven't filled it in yet; if you want to try it, you go to the appropriate page, click "edit" at the top, and have at it with the visual editor. The website user manual has a nice graphic of the various editor functions.

That's great because it was not there before.
 
And that was quick!

Should the Glossary on the right be mapped to the Glossary (working) in part of the book?
 
Why have a separate Glossary on the left of the forum that leads to something else.
 
Unless there is a reason for this that I do not understand.
 
The entries in Glossary can be added to Glossary (working), correct?

this is confusing - one should be renamed in my opinion
 
1) The "Glossary (Working)" is a community effort
2) The Glossary link on the left is for key words like item which show a pop-up definition (which can also be read on that glossary page)
 
Pierre - how about renaming that one?  how does "Pop-up Glossary" sound? - or renaming the other ...
 
the "Glossary (Working)" can be edited by anyone (you probably have to be logged in) Keith has been doing most of the work there lately so will probably be happy if any of us contribute more ;-)

I like it. How about "Web Glossary" or "Forum Glossary"?
Popup Glossary may infer that when someone is tinkering with IQ offline that these same popups will occur inside the program.
(Unless these will become part of the IQ Help index system at some point.)
