Well, clearly one would be able to turn it off in the case of excessive
load. In my case its unfortunate, rather than fortunate, since the
spreadsheets I have (or want to convert) are small and there is
negligible slowdown. To have to remember to refresh the entire
spreadsheet is a burden - not a large one I agree, but one which if
forgotten could lead to catastrophic financial reports :-;

As I said above, when I tab in and start writing it adds to the existing
text. I do believe it might be different for you, but believe me, it
does not for me...
6.06b
Possibly it is some other mode interfering or we are at cross meanings
here - the cashbank example explains the scenario reasonably well I
think (or rather hope:-;).
