I thought you were trying to write new macros. If you go to the macros menu, you should get a list of macros associated with that particular spreadsheet. If you enter on a given macro, it will run. That's about the extent of my knowledge.

I was told as part of my Psychology and .Counselling course, that I should turn on macros, in order to get best use .of the study texts I have to read. I would think these macros should be .safe. Do I still need to follow your steps, if I just want to turn macros .on? In addition, if I do turn on macros, will this only be file or site .specific, or allow all macros? At the moment, I am only trying to access the .study materials for my course and not every macro I might come across. .thanks a lot .Jason . .----- Original Message ----- .From: "William Stephan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> .To: <[email protected]> .Sent: Friday, June 29, 2007 2:27 AM .Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MS-Excel documents looking like crap. . . .> Sure, go to your tools menu using alt ;t.
