Excel 2007 Checkbook Register Question

Hi - I am a noob to Excel.   I downloaded the checkbook register from the
Excel website figuring it would be an easy way for me to become familiar
with the program.  Here's what I downloaded:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC101909831033.aspx?pid=CT101438521033

I put my "Balance Forward" in the top row, then added a deposit.   The
deposit and the "Balance Forward" added correctly.

Then, I entered a check, but for some reason the amount of the check, which
was placed in the Debit cell, did not automatically subtract from the
balance.

Question -  How do I get this template to work?

Thanks

Joe

Without looking, perhaps you have calculation set to manual instead of
automatic?

Hi - It's set to automatic.  Here's a screenshot:

Should I just redownload the template and start over?

I found the solution.  I had to manually calculate the first Debit amount
and enter the balance.  The formula automatically adds and subtracts now.
