Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Cell reference that updates all sheets?

[Tom Davies <tomdavies04@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi :)
Please let us know which wiki-page needs to be re-edited.  A clickable link would make it easier.  

They do go a bit wonky sometimes or get thrown together hastily but generally they improve as more people edit the rough spots out of them.  You can edit it yourself if you register and you are probably one of the few people that really understand this topic now so you are probably the best person to do the editing now.  

Generally the best documentation is on this page
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
and is then copied to this page
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Miguel, thank you SO much for the help.  It was a little confusing and
the HELP wiki made it even worse!  Then I studied your example more and
figured it out.  You've really saved me hours and hours of work.
