create divide sign in numbers

The division sign is accessible from the keyboard, but it will not be recognized if you type it directly into a formula.

Formulas will accept only the 'traditional'      arithmetic operators, + - * and / and will

automatically change those into the equivalent arithmetical signs +−× and÷

The only one that seems to cause comment is the division sign. + is unchanged, the change from hyphen to division sign is subtle enough to be not noticed in context (as is the difference between the multiplication sign and a lower case letter x (x,×).

Slash sign comes up as + sign

If you look more closely you'll see that's a division sign, not a + sign. Same symbol you see on electronic calculators. Your eyes will quickly get used to it.
