Unsaved changes ( )
An asterisk (*) appears here if changes to the spreadsheet have not
been saved.
Digital signature ( )
If the document has not been digitally signed, double-clicking in this

document. See Chapter 6 (Printing, Exporting, and E-mailing) for
more about digital signatures.
If the document has been digitally signed, an icon shows in this

document can be digitally signed only after it has been saved.
Cell or object information ( )

is selected, the sum of the contents is displayed by default; you can
right-click on this field and select other functions, such as the
average value, maximum value, minimum value, or count (number of
items selected).
