Working with the Gnumeric Spreadsheet

The Gnumeric spreadsheet is a world-class spreadsheet program, and it's also a work in progress. In other words, it is very, very good right now—but not complete.

Documentation for the Gnumeric spreadsheet is excellent.

This program is primarily the work of Miguel de Icaza. You can learn more about it at
