Defining Calc Zones for Notebook

You can partition an M-book into self-contained sections, called calc zones. A calc zone is a contiguous block of text, input cells, and output cells. Notebook inserts Microsoft Word section breaks before and after the section to define the calc zone. The section break indicators include bold, gray brackets to distinguish them from standard Word section breaks.

You can use calc zones to prepare problem sets, making each problem a separate calc zone that can be created and tested on its own. An M-book can contain any number of calc zones.

Creating a Calc Zone

After you create the text and cells you want to include in the calc zone, you define the calc zone by following these steps:

  1. Select the input cells and text to be included in the calc zone.
  2. Select Notebook -> Define Calc Zone.

See Evaluating a Calc Zone with Notebook for information about evaluating a calc zone.
