Files and Software on the CD | Excel 2007 Formulas (Mr. Spreadsheets Bookshelf)

The following sections provide more details about the software and other materials available on the CD.

Example files for Excel 2007 Formulas

Most of the chapters in this book refer to workbook files that are available on the CD-ROM. Each chapter has its own subdirectory on the CD. For example, you can find the files for Chapter 5 in the following directory:

 examples\chapter 05

The files are all Excel 2007 workbook files that have either of the following extensions:

XLSX: An Excel workbook file
XLSM: An Excel workbook file that contains VBA macros

When you open an XLSM file, Excel may display a Security Warning, and tells you that macros have been disabled. To enable macros, click the Options button in the Security Warning panel, and then select the option labeled Enable This Content.

Because the files on this CD are from a trusted source, you may want to copy the files to your hard drive, and then designate the folder as a trusted location. To do so, follow these steps:

Open an Explorer window, and select the CD-ROM drive that contains the companion CD-ROM.
Right-click the folder that corresponds to the root folder for the samples files, and select Copy from the shortcut menu.
Activate the folder on your hard drive where you'd like to copy the files. Right-click the directory, and choose Paste from the shortcut menu.

The CD-ROM files will be copied to a subfolder in the folder you specified in Step 3. To designate this new folder as a trusted location:

Start Excel and choose Office Excel Options to display the Excel Options dialog box.
In the Excel Options dialog box, click the Trust Center tab.
Click the Trust Center Settings button.
In the Trust Center dialog box, click the Trusted Locations tab.
Click the Add New Location button to display the Microsoft Office Trusted Location dialog box.
In the Microsoft Office Trusted Location dialog box, click the Browse button, and locate the folder the contains the files copied from the CD-ROM.
Make sure you select the option labeled Subfolders Of This Location Are Also Trusted.

After performing these steps, when you open XLSM files from this location, the macros are enabled and you don't see the security warning.
