The spot where a row and column intersect is called a cell. A cell is the place in a spreadsheet where you enter text, numbers, or formulas. For example, in the following illustration, January appears in the cell C4, where column C and row 4 intersect:
The active cell is shown by a heavy cell outline - in this example, B2.
Cells can also be called fields (the word cell is part of the special spreadsheet vocabulary). You use fields throughout Ability – in Write, and Database – and they always work in similar ways and can call on the same function list. You can apply what you learn about fields (known here as cells) in Spreadsheet to the fields you work with in other applications.
