Mathcad will not update.
(OP)
Sometimes I have a problem with Mathcad 2001 where the results will not change when I change numbers on the sheet. What causes this? I have gotten out of this jam by copying the program onto a new sheet.

Side note: I used to have problems with Mcad crashing when automatic calculations were on - especially when I was writing programs. So I've turned off automatic calc and just use F9 to force calculations when I need them updated.

Trying to fix something broken in 2001 is really an exercise in futility. You can't even upgrade from 2001 to v13.

Reloaded file will have all values recalculated, and all un-defined variables will go red.
Quite awkward, but Mathsoft refuses to recognize this old problem.
ZDAC04 recommended odd-numbered version. Can't agree. Mathcad 11 was fine. Mathcad 13 is the worst I had.

Maybe I should modify my statement to "version 11 worked good for me, even numbered versions 12 and below all had major problems". I don't really know enough about 13 yet to recommend it.
Were you happy with v12? I've never heard anyone that liked that version.

Go to menu
Insert->Math Region
type:
x1:=3+5 ,
then try to insert this math region on the same line:
x1=
Seven times out of ten, the 2nd x1 is treated as a new variable. The solution: close it and open it again.
