  <para>
    All tools have the same output options (see <xref
    linkend="fig-outputoptions" />).  The results can be printed into a
    new sheet, into a new workbook, or into a given output range on a
    sheet of the current workbook.  To select the output method select
    one of the radio buttons inside the <guilabel>Output</guilabel>
    frame. If you have chosen <quote><guibutton>Output
    Range</guibutton></quote> you must also enter a single range in
    the entry field. 
  </para>

  <para>Select the <guilabel>Autofit
    Columns</guilabel> option to automatically adjust the widths of
    the columns in the output range.
  </para> 

  <para>You will normally want to select the <guilabel>Clear
    Output Range</guilabel> option, since otherwise some of the cells with 
    existing content will remain in the output range.
  </para> 

  <para> The <guilabel>Retain Output Range Formatting</guilabel> and 
    <guilabel>Retain Output Range Comments</guilabel> options are useful 
    if you have already preformatted the output range.
  </para>

  <para>All analysis tools also provide a choice whether
    they will enter formul&#xe6; or just values in the cells. By default 
    &gnum; will usually enter formul&#xe6;. These formul&#xe6; will automatically
    reevaluate when the data change. For some tools, the formul&#xe6; also
    permit modification of certain parameters. 
  </para> 
  

  <note>
    <para>
      If the chosen output range is too small, some of the results
      will be lost.

      The old data in the output range is deleted and cannot be
      recovered.

	<para>The <quote><guilabel>Use exact comparisons</guilabel></quote> checkbox determines how

	  <function>EXACT</function> is used for the comparison. If it isn't checked then simple
	  equality is used. In this latter case, empty cells and cells containing the numerical 
	  value 0 are considered equal. As a consequence you usually want that checkbox to be selected.

  2.5, the average of 2 and 3. The rank function on the other hand assigns the rank as it 
  is normally used to determine placements. The two values 10 would therefore each receive
  a rank of 2.

  <para>The multiplicative Holt-Winters method of exponential smoothing is appropriate when a time

    (although we allow for this constant to change slowly.)
