Forcing Text Entry
GraFit displays text items as they are entered, but formats numbers dependent
upon the current column formatting (Table | Column Format command). To force
numbers to be treated as a text item, enter them with a preceding ' symbol, for
example:
'2.34
Forcing text entry can be useful if a number is used as one of the entries in the
category axis of a chart.
Note
Numbers forced to act as text are not available as data items, and will be
treated as missing items during data fitting.
