    Question Copying formulas

    Hi. My question is a very basic one..

    When I am copying/pasting formulas that I use every so often, Excel will automatically re-calculate the values based on the new position (thank God). However, it will only show these new values once I save. This is a pain for me because I have to save every 5-10 seconds to make sure that I am not making a mistake. How do I set it so that the new values are automatically shown when I paste the formula to a new area?
