Perhaps the most profound concept is not a function but a sense of ownership. As you saw in the walkthrough, when I used the Autosum wizard for the third time, the wizard took the Total vertically instead of horizontally as we thought it would as it had done the first two times. You caught it because I directed you to pay attention to what the Autosum wizard. Often, users – myself included – are accostomed to simply click [Next] or [Ok] while not reading the dialog box to get the wizard to move on to do what we expect the wizard to do for us. If I simply pressed [Enter] to accept how the wizard took the total, who is responsible?
