Security Excel® version 2007
Currently there are (2) Microsoft Excel® documents on the FRAMER_TAKEOFF ™ © page available for download, i.e. "Tour.xls & "Help.xls." The "Help.xls" document has been converted to HTML, with no macros, on it's own web page. The User may access this document by going to the FRAMER_TAKEOFF ™ © page and clicking the "Framer_Takeoff™ © Documentation button." "Tour.xls" is a VBA document, written to display the actual Dialog Boxes used in FRAMER_TAKEOFF ™ ©. The "Help.xls" document is the actual documentation and "Help" file for use in FRAMER_TAKEOFF ™ ©. Both of these Excel® files contain macros. To run this "Tour/Help" set, macros must be enabled by clicking the "Enable Macros" button when opening Excel® versions 2003 and earlier. Both files have been tested and run extensively by Sonoran Software TM, LLC over a period of 20 years. Both files have been scanned extensively for 'maleware' over this period of time. Current up to date 'Malware' scans of these documents have been made with Symantec's Norton Internet Security®2010, Spybot - Search and Destroy®2010, PC Tools Spyware Doctor®2010 and many other AV applications. Both FRAMER_TAKEOFF ™ © "Tour.xls" and "Help.xls files are safe to download and run. When first running "Tour.xls"/ "Help" in Excel® version 2007 a security dialog box will appear warning about running macros. In order to enable macros in Excel® version 2007 click the "Office Button" in the far upper left of the new Excel® Ribbon. Go to the bottom of this dialog box and click the "Excel Options" button. Highlight and click the the "Trust Center" menu choice. Click the "Trust Center Settings" button. Next highlight and click the "Macro Settings" menu choice. Finally click the radio button for "Enable all macros ..." Then click the "OK" button at the bottom of this dialog box. Again click "OK" on the previous "Trust Center" dialog box at the bottom. Then close Excel® 2007. The FRAMER_TAKEOFF ™ © "Tour" will then run upon reopening the document.
Please note: Microsoft Excel® 2007 uses the new "Ribbon" replacing the previous standard menu bar used in Excel® 2003 and earlier. To date all Sonoran Software TM, LLC programs use the old standard menu bar or "Custom Menus." All Sonoran Software TM, LLC programs are being upgraded to Excel® 2007, to a new version v E07 -2.0. The above files ("Tour.xls" & "F_T_H.XLS") will run with Excel® 2007. The old usual "Menu" will be replaced by the new "Ribbon." It is not necessary to have the "Custom Menu" loaded to run 'Tour' & 'Help.' Also, the old "Enable Macros" dialog box, which appears when Excel® loads, in versions of Excel® 2003 and earlier, has been replaced. See "Security of Microsoft Excel®, 2007 above for enabling macros in Excel® 2007. When the new Sonoran Software TM, LLC programs have been upgraded to v E07 - 2.0 "Code Verification Certificates," e.g.VeriSign® will be attached to the new documents.
