[WIN8] Where's the division and multiply signs in Windows Calc?My calculator needs a battery and I can't find one here (although I have in the past when it needed a battery). So, I tried Windows Calc that I rarely have used over the years I've had computers and I can't find the multiply or division signs!
I also purchased a very inexpensive calculator at Wal-Mart to use until I can get a new battery for my nice one. The cheapie one has multiply and division signs (and it worked for all of three days). So, why are they missing from Windows Calc?
What do you use for those signs in Calc? |

Re: [WIN8] Where's the division and multiply signs in Windows Calc?The "/" and "*" have been used for divide and multiply in the Windows calculator since Windows was a GUI shell tacked on to MS DOS in 1985. |
