 SETTING UP 2007 EXCEL TO RUN MACROS 1. Create a subfolder in your C:\ drive named “Total Solution”. This software will not run on a network drive. 2. Save the files you received in the Email into this new “Total Solution” folder. 3. Verify that two Excel add‐ins are turned on. Click the Office button then click “Excel Options”, next choose “Add‐ins”. If the Analysis Toolpak and the Analysis Toolpac‐
VBA are not on the list then hit the “Go” button and add them. 4. Set Excel to allow macros to run on any workbooks that are in the “Total Solution” subfolder (see end of this guide for directions). All copies of work you do should be saved to that subfolder, so they can run. You may add subfolders within the Total Solution subdirectory. Do not set Excel to a low security setting! 5. Open Excel and from within Excel open the subfolder you just created. Open the file named “1004mc Total Solution.xlt”. Be sure it is the template. If the file name of the workbook that opened ends in “.xltm” it is the template. 6. When the License Agreement becomes visible read it carefully. If you agree to the terms of this agreement then choose “I Agree” and click on the “Next” button. 7. Go to your computer desktop and create a shortcut to the “1004MC Total Solution.xltm”. You should always use this shortcut to start a new file because the shortcut will open a copy of the template and not the actual template. 8. If you only have Excel loaded and not the entire MS Office Suite; be sure the "Office Shared Functions" were loaded. Setting up the Total Solution© program 1. Open the Total Solutions Template by opening Excel and from within excel opening the file (C:\Total Solutions\1004MC Total Solutions.xlt). 2. Go to the sheet named “Set‐Up”. This will be found by looking at the sheet tabs at the bottom of the screen. 3. Fill in the appraiser information. 4. Fill in the Computer Field Name section (See below for instructions). 5. Put your signature file in the “Total Solution” subfolder. It must be in “.png” format and named “Appr1Sig.png”. If there is a second appraiser, name their signature file as “Appr2Sig.png” and put it in the subfolder as well. If you have a signature saved as a “.jpg” you can convert it to a “.png” by opening the file in most any photo software programs. Once in the program open the .jpg file and choose the .png format while performing a “save as”. 6
