<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id5489364" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">A good way of making the references to cells and cell ranges in formulas legible is to give the ranges names. For example, you can name the range A1:B2 <emph>Start</emph>. You can then write a formula such as "=SUM(Start)". Even after you insert or delete rows or columns, $[officename] still correctly assigns the ranges identified by name. Range names must not contain any spaces.</paragraph>

<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id953398" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">For example, it is much easier to read a formula for sales tax if you can write "= Amount * Tax_rate" instead of "= A5 * B12". In this case, you would name cell A5 "Amount" and cell B12 "Tax_rate."</paragraph>
