Formula Displayed in Cell Instead of Value

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
If a cell diplays a formula instead of the value it is supposed to be calculating, it is probably because:

1) The formula is not preceded by an equal sign ("=") or

2) The option "Display Formulas" is checked in the Display dialog, under the Options menu (Display Formulas is not an option in ClarisImpact).
