A conversion function for converting between the euro and other currencies
is provided that converts a value in one type of currency to a value in
another type of currency according to EU-specified conversion rules and
rounding rules. The conversion function may utilize full-precision
computation or may convert the value utilizing a user-supplied number of
significant digits. A method and apparatus for formatting the results of
a conversion in a user-modifiable euro style is also provided. A
formatting toolbar button is supplied that when selected applies a euro
style to a selected currency value or range of values. A conversion
wizard for converting a group of values or functions between the euro and
other currencies is also provided. The wizard permits user-selected
formula handling options to be selected at the time of conversion. A
toolbar for viewing the results of the conversion is also provided. The
toolbar provides a floating window that indicates the value of a current
location in a user-specified type of currency. The window is updated each
time a new location or range of locations is selected, a refresh command
is issued, or a new type of currency is selected.
