The other day i was creating a table to itemize a list of requirements for a project. I wanted to add a unique identifier for each requirement for reference purposes.
Of course i didn’t want to type the number for each new row. I was able to do this by inserting a field and using the MAX formula. I then copied the formula into every row in the first column except for the first row. The formula looks like this:
=MAX(ABOVE) + 10
Finally you need to select the entire column and press the F9 key to recalculate the formula.
You could also use an AUTONUM field but if you want to insert a row between two existing rows it would affect the numbering system. The AUTONUM filed is based on an existing list (e.g. 1,2,3 …. or a, b, c ..).

I use most of the Google applications like GMail, Calendar and Docs on a regular basis. I usually access the applications by using a gadget in iGoogle and therefore the links are not secure.
Well there is simple way to ensure you always have a secure connection:
Downloading and installing Firefox is pretty straightforward. The next step is to install the Greasemonkey addon which you can access from the link above. Now go to the GMailSecure link and click “Install the Script” located in the upper right hand corner of the web page:
By default the GMailSecure script only secures connections to GMail (http://mail.google.com). Whenever you go to http://mail.google.com it rewrites the url using javascript to https://mail.google.com But you can easily modify the addon to include Google Docs and Google Calendar. By adding the following entries:
To do this select Tools>Greasemonkey>Manage User Scripts in Firefox and add the above entries:
