My "fill down" function doesn't. (I think it used to!) Now when I "fill down" on a spreadsheet cell containing a formula, the formula is shown to be incremented down in each lower cell, but the lower cells all contain the same number that is in the first cell. Appleworks 6.2.9
I have an iMAC G5, Mac OS X (10.3.9)
Maybe this is related to my issue with "FILL DOWN", but I notice that when I use "SORT" in the drop-down menu "CALCULATE", that the resultant box "RANGE" is blank -- no cells are listed. Or maybe it's as my Air Force buddy says -- "It's the ploglies!" (a modern version of the WW II "gremlins".)
Check that Auto Calculate (at teh bottom of the Calculate menu) has a check mark beside it. If not, choose the item to toggle in 'On'.

Would you please mark the post with the correct answer? to help others who are having the same problem?
Where's the Calculate menu? My Numbers headings are: File, Edit, Insert, Table, Format, Arrange, View, Window and Help. And none of them seem to have a "Calculate" on their pull-downs.
This is because you are using Numbers. This discussion is about the spreadsheet module in AppleWorks, and is therefore in the 'AppleWorks' forum. If you need help with Numbers you should ask in the Numbers forum.
Thanks Roger! Keep using AppleWorks....I LOVE that software. I wish Apple still supported it. Do you know where I could download a version of AppleWorks compatible with Mavricks (OSX-9)? I'm about ready to uninstall Numbers that came free with my new iMac....worthless and confusing.
I'm afraid that AppleWorks does not run on Mavericks (unless you want to install Snow Leopard Server in Parallels and run it in emulation on that). (And AppleWorks isnt available for download though it still may be able to buy it from an independent retailer or eBay).
I have no idea what you're talking about. "....run it in emulation????"
Just take my advice: Keep your AW running as long as you can. Numbers trashes those beautiful, functional AW spreadsheets that print so well. And forget about maintaining a DataBase! All Apple offers now is this single, problematic spreadsheet program.
My "fill down" doesn't.
