AppleWorks Auto-Calculate Problem

[David Emme]

OS X 10.2.5, AppleWorks 6.2.7

Lately I've noticed that some of my spreadsheets refuse to
auto-calculate, or auto-update a graph on the spreadsheet. They all used
to work fine. Now some work properly and some don't. I do have Auto
Calculate checked in both the ones that work and the ones that don't.

Any ideas?

TIA,
-Dave

A couple of times I've had individual spreadsheets not work right.
Turned out to be some corruption of the spreadsheet document. Copied and
pasted to a fresh spreadsheet, and that worked OK.

This occurred in Appleworks 5. However, seems to ma any file could get corrupted.

No idea why the corrpution occurred. Only happened to one or two files
over a period of years.
