 You may reference a rectangular range of fields by specifying two
-field references connected by two dots =..=.  If both fields are in
-the current row, you may simply use =$2..$7=, but if at least one
-field is in a different row, you need to use the general =@ROW$COLUMN=
-format at least for the first field, i.e., the reference must start
-with =@= in order to be interpreted correctly.  Examples:
