Growth/Amortization Keywords
|
The following table contains explanations that apply only to the argument keywords of the five growth/amortization functions (FV, PMT, PV, RATE, and TERM). These functions let you solve any of 22 possible growth/amortization cases
.
Future Value (FV) — The value of an investment or loan at the end of the specified periods.
Payment — The amount periodically paid or earned on a loan or investment.
Periods — The number of periods for the investment or loan. If the Payment argument is included, the Periods argument must be based on the frequency of the payment (for example, number of months if payments are monthly).
Present Value (PV) — The initial amount invested or loaned.
Rate — The rate of interest for the investment or loan. Type the rate followed by the percent operator (for example, 7.5%). You must base the rate on the same period as the Payment and Periods arguments. If those arguments are based on a period other than a year, you must adjust the rate accordingly. For example, if payments are made monthly, divide the rate by 12 (for example, 7.5%/12).
Type — When the payment is made (at the beginning or end of the period). A non-zero value for Type indicates that payment is made at the beginning of the period. A value of zero indicates that payment is made at the end of the period. The default value for the Type argument is zero. If the Payment argument is zero, the Type argument has no effect on the calculation. The Type argument requires that you enter all cash inflows as positive numbers and outflows as negative numbers. If you do not include the Type argument, all arguments must be positive numbers and all results will be positive.
|

AVE(a1,b2,c3,d4,e5)
MAX(a1,interest,SUM(a3:b5),PI( ))
Unless otherwise noted, a list will use only references to cells or ranges that contain numbers. If the address of a range of cells is included in the list, empty cells or cells that contain text in the range are ignored.
The order of items in a list is meaningful only in the CONCAT, IRR, NPV, QUOTIENT, and SUBTRACT functions.
|
|
Local
|
The Local command creates local variables and arrays (they pertain only to the current macro).
|

|
|
Merge data file
|
A WordPerfect data file supplies information to the form document during a merge. You can arrange the information in either a text or table format. (In previous versions of WordPerfect, a data file was known as a secondary merge file.)
|
|

|
|
OLE
|
Object Linking and Embedding lets you combine information created in different Windows applications in one document. You can include text, charts, graphics, spreadsheets, sound clips, or video clips in your WordPerfect documents.
The information (or object) can be linked so that information in your document updates when the source file changes, or it can be embedded or inserted as a one-time copy. WordPerfect also supports OLE Automation.
|
|
OLE Automation server
|
The Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) architecture is based on a model of client-server (also known as container-component or controller-component) associations. This model is based on the interaction between two applications in which one application (the client or container) makes requests to the other (the server or client) to perform an action. With OLE Automation, the application acting as the server exposes one or more automation components which allow other applications (controller or client) to manipulate them.
|
|
OLE Object Command
|
Commands for OLE objects are called methods, and they perform tasks on an OLE object in a specific OLE Automation server. A method is a command or function that performs an action on that object.
|
|
Ordinals
|
Ordinals are numbers used to define position in an ordered series. For example, first, second, third, etc.

|
Persist
|
The Persist command creates variables and arrays that pertain to any PerfectScript macro as long as PerfectScript is running Special variables.
|
|
Physical page
|
The sheet of paper on which you print. The term physical page is used to distinguish between the paper on a page and the actual printing area. The physical page can be divided into several logical pages. For instance, if you are printing labels, the sheet or roll of labels is called the physical page; each individual label is called a logical page.
|
|
Piles
|
A pile is created when you press Enter. A new line appears beneath the current one. You can type an expression on the new line, press Enter again, and so forth, forming a vertical stack. A pile can be created from any position in an equation. There could be several piles within an equation, or you could have a pile of equations.Assigns the Text style either to selected characters or to characters that you type subsequently. This style activates the Spacebar on your keyboard, disables Equation Editor’s automatic spacing, and formats characters in Text style (which usually means plain roman), making it easier to type ordinary text with Equation Editor.
|
|
Pixel
|
Abbreviation for picture element. Pixels are dots on a computer or television screen that combine to form an image. Computer images are created as an array of such dots, each having a specific color. See also Resolution.

|
Product commands
|
Product commands perform product tasks in a specific application. Product commands that report information (return a value) about the state of an application or feature are sometimes called system variables.
|
|
Programming commands
|
Programming commands work across applications. They generally control macro functions. They can specify conditions under which other macro commands or statements will operate (Case, If Else Endif, Switch EndSwitch). They can also repeat macro commands or statements a specified number of times or until certain conditions are met (For Endfor, Repeat Until, While EndWhile). They can also invoke or jump to a specified subroutine (statement block) with Call or Go.

|
|
Variable
|
Variables allow you to write flexible programs and macros. You can use variables to represent data instead of entering data directly into a macro. When you execute a macro, the variables are replaced with real data, which allows the same macro to process different sets of data. A variable must have a name, known as the variable name, and a data type. A variable’s data type indicates whether a variable is a character or text, an integer, or a floating-point number.
