    (1) Summary. Suggest the following replacement text – “Calculates the total payment (principal and interest) made each period for an investment with a fixed interest rate over a specific number of periods”.
    (2) Returns. Change “investment with given parameters” to “an investment with the given arguments”. Mention that the result is formatted as a currency.
    (3) Arguments, Rate. Insert “decimal” before “fraction”.
    (4) Arguments, NPer. Change “number of periods in which annuity is paid” to “total number of payment periods”.
    (5) Arguments, PV. Change “cash value in a sequence of payments” to “value of the investment”.
    (6) Arguments, FV. Change “desired value (future value) at the end of the periods” to “future value of the investment”.
    (7) Arguments, 2nd bullet. I think that the software checks for = 0 and <> 0.
    (8) Additional details. This formula will not work for obvious reasons if Rate = 0. Please add the separate equation given in the ODF for the special case of Rate = 0.
    (9) Additional details. It may be worth noting that the total amount paid could be calculated as the PMT value multiplied by NPer.
