6 Woopit 09-19-2003 09:58 PM ET (US)	I am using Appleworks 6.2.7 and have not been able to print a spreadsheet out of it yet. I reloaded the program twice to no avail. Everytime I try to print-I get an error mesasage on my printer(HP5000). It will print word processing docs fine, but not the spreadsheets. Any ideas? I could surely use the input. Thanks.

3 Sheethead 04-27-2003 04:47 PM ET (US)	You have encountered Godel's Law in practice. Every math system (i.e. spreadsheet) can express statements that cannot be calculated within that system. Spreadsheets with problems like this tend to be deeply fucked, with some sort of subtle structural error that ends up in a recursive loop and infinite recalculation. I suspect that when you delete the row, some other calc refers to a changed location, which is now connected to another calc in a recursive loop.

This is a real problem. Edited 04-25-2003 09:09 AM
