 B. Settings Respecification

 The following 1-2-3 settings are carried over into Symphony:

 @ Functions
 Data Distribution Ranges
 Data Fill Ranges
 Data Input Cells
 Data Table (What-If) Ranges
 Individually set row or column titles
 Label-Prefix settings
 Named Ranges
 Numeric Format settings
 Recalculation Iterations settings
 Recalculation Method settings
 Recalculation Order settings

 The following need to be respecified in Symphony:

 Spreadsheet

 Global Column Width Settings    In SHEET window:  [MENU]  Settings  Width
  (Symphony default is 9)

 Formulas containing both        Adjust so that both do not occur
 numeric and string              in the same formula.  There are new
 expressions                     string handling capabilities.

 Split windows                   [SERVICES]  Window  Pane



 Database

 Data Fill Start, Step and       In SHEET window:  [MENU]  Range  Fill
  Stop values

 Database ranges entered with    In SHEET window:  [MENU]  Query  Settings
  /Data Query                     Basic Ranges

                                 In FORM window:  [MENU]  Settings  Basic Ranges

 Data Sort Keys and Order        In SHEET window:  [MENU]  Query  Settings
 (Symphony does not sort          Sort-Keys
 the top row of field names.)
                                 In FORM window:  [MENU]  Settings  Sort-Keys


 Graphs

 Macros

 Most macros                     Learn mode or programming with Symphony
                                 Command Language.  Many functions done
                                 with macros in 1-2-3 are done with
                                 commands and settings in Symphony.


 Printing
 Print Destination               [SERVICES]  Print  Settings
 Print Margins
 Print Source Range

 C. Compatible File Formats

 Symphony's Translate utility is a program allowing you to move data
 between Symphony and other programs as follows:

         Source                          Destination
         VisiCalc                        Symphony
         DIF (Data Interchange Format)   Symphony
         Symphony                        DIF
         Symphony                        dBASE-II
         dBASE-II                        Symphony
