No. There was a fairly long discussion of this in January when the FWP demo came out. AAS (now Ashton-Tate) specifically didn't include formula processing because they felt it was a fairly obscure feature and there are already a number of independent products taht they felt covered the territory well enough. And you can always go in the draw layer and build it up manually, much as you would in something like MacDraw. I'm not even going to get into whether this is a good or bad decision. We had this flame war last time. But no, there's no math processing. Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM Delphi: CHUQ Robert A. Heinlein: 1907-1988.
