Progress Bar

Don't go away



If your macro is going to take a bit of time to complete, it is good manners to inform your users what is going on. If screen updating is turned off, they may think their machine has frozen.

Not everyone is going to jump at once


How to open and to save Word 2007, Excel 2007, and PowerPoint 2007 files in earlier versions of Office
Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint versions 2000 through 2003 cannot natively open documents that are stored in the Office Open XML Formats in 2007 Microsoft Office programs.

1040 on a Spreadsheet

Free tax forms


All right, we spend our waking hours SUMming with Excel and then when one of the more stressful times of the year shows up, we turn it all over to TurboTax.

Here is a collection of IRS forms Glenn Reeves has done as interlocking spreadsheets.

The formulas are already set up; ready for data entry.
"No PASSWORD is needed!

If a cell is protected, it is because it contains a calculated value.

Many times, a manual override cell is provided if you need to override the calculated value.

After a while, you will figure out that the spreadsheet is completely functional without needing to unprotect it."



(Included on the site are forms back to 1996.)

This may be partially true, but not all is lost.

Here is some information from the equine's mouth:


Learn how to customize the Ribbon user interface (UI) in the 2007 Microsoft Office release. Also learn how new features in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office System support RAD development of Ribbon customizations. (40 printed pages)

Customizing the Office (2007) Ribbon
