The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Works 2.0

This article was previously published under Q79969

SUMMARY

The "Microsoft Works for Windows User's Guide" incorrectly lists that the order operators are evaluated in a formula. In the guide, the negative and positive operators are listed after the exponential operator, which is incorrect. The negative and positive operators should appear before the exponential operator.

MORE INFORMATION

The correct table is as follows:

Operator                        Description
--------                        -----------

()                              Parenthetical expressions
-,+                             Negative,positive
^                               Exponentiation
*,/                             Multiplication,division
+,-                             Addition,subtraction
=, <, >, <=, >=, <>             Comparison
~(NOT), | (OR), & (AND)         Logical operators
