-===== Simplified Column Formula Notation =====+===== Comments in Formulas ===== 
 + 
 +You can insert comments in any formula using ''/*...*/'' notation:

 + 
 +Use ''Ctrl+/'' / ''Cmd-/'' keyboard shortcut to comment selection. Comments can be multi-line. Note that the single line comments using a symbol at the line start (like ''%%//%%'' or ''%'') are not supported because line breaks are not taken into account in MagicPlot formula syntax.

 +===== Simplified Column Formula Notation: $A for col(A) =====
  
 We have simplified Column Formula syntax: column and cell values can be inserted using ''$A'' and ''$A$1'' instead of ''col(A)'' and ''cell(A, 1)''. The old notation also works. We have simplified Column Formula syntax: column and cell values can be inserted using ''$A'' and ''$A$1'' instead of ''col(A)'' and ''cell(A, 1)''.

 The same formula can be set for multiple selected columns. You can use this feature to compute matrices.

 ===== No more 'Data-Baseline' Column ===== ===== No more 'Data-Baseline' Column =====
  
-Staring MagicPlot 2.10 The 'Data-Baseline' column is no more added to the Table when creating a Fit Plot. The 'Data-Baseline' column contain the Y values with subtracted baseline curve from Fit Plot -- the exact Y values that are plotted. This feature was introduced in the first MagicPlot versions but it proved to be mostly usefulness by our customers.+Staring MagicPlot 2.10 The 'Data-Baseline' column is no more added to the Table when creating a Fit Plot. The 'Data-Baseline' column contained the Y values from the Fit Plot with the baseline curves subtracted -- the Y values that are actually plotted. This feature was introduced in the early MagicPlot version but it has proved to be mostly annoying.
  
-The 'Data-Baseline' auto-recalculated columns will be preserved when opening old projects for backward compatibility. You can deleted these columns manually.+The 'Data-Baseline' auto-recalculated columns will be preserved when opening old projects in MagicPlot 2.10 for backward compatibility.
