	In the case of the cents calculator, I wanted to include a lot of
explainations.  The best way to do this (for me) is to create a document
in a word processor and embed  a spreatsheet as an object inside it. So I
needed both a word processor and a spread sheet program. Since WordPad
seems common to all  windows machines and is easy to work with "objects", 
I chose it and selected from its choices of spread sheets,  what I thought
the most common one, Works 3.0.  ---ric  

ps

Apparently WordPad searches your HD for programs it will try to open
objects embedded in the document.  You can see what it has found in your
computer by opening a new WordPad document selecting  Insert,  selecting 
Object and the list that appears is what is in your computer that WordPad
can work with.  It may show your particular share ware spreadsheet.   I
don't know what would appear if only W95 were installed.   I am sure at
least WordPad would. Left clicking on a blank area in the desk top will
give a pop up window of selections.  Right click on  New and an option for
WordPad appears.  
I use WordPad because of these features and it is compatible with every
W95 computer at least.  Perhaps even W 3x.  Did anyone get my attachment
and open it in W 3x ?   
	It is interesting that Wordpad will create a spread sheet using Word 3.0
in my case, yet the spread sheet it creates does not appear in Word 3 
itself.
