Easy calculations on your Pocket PC

Thursday, 29 March 2007

Last week, Pocket PC Mag gave a Tip for Adding or Subtracting a Series of Numbers easily on your Pocket PC Calculator.

If you are adding or subtracting a series of numbers on the calculator, it can be a pain to enter all of them, and the possibility of a typographic error also increases. An easy way to do such a calculation is to type the series of numbers with the plus (+) sign or minus (-) sign between them, and an equal to (=) sign at the end of the series, in a Word document or in a note. An example of a series and the format it should be typed in is as following: 224+342+235-100+90+235=

Highlight the series on numbers by dragging the stylus across them, nd then tap and hold on the numbers and select Copy from the resulting menu. You can then paste them in the calculator application by tapping Edit >Paste. The calculator application will perform the necessary calculations and display the result.
