NOTES1. These macros have been:a) Designed to reside in a separate le, and not inside a spreadsheet itsel(to avoid embedding non-essential macro's within a model)b) Saved in a "hidden" state (so that this le will not be in the way when you work). To un-hide simply: Window, Unhide.To use these macros simply have this le open, albeit in a hidden state, when you are work-ing in Excel.To have it open automatically when you start Excel just point your "Tools, Options, General(Tools, Options, Advanced, General or Excel 2007/2010),At start-up open all les" directory to it (making sure there are no unwanted les reside in thesame directory).

2. To allow the above Number Formats and related Styles (see below) to work you rstneed to import the styles into your le. You do this by:a) Unhiding this ormat macro le (Window, Unhide).

b) From your spreadsheet import the style o this le, simply: Format, Styles, Merge, (Alt + H +J + M or Excel 2007/2010) selecting thename o this le OR simply press the shortcut key Ctrl + Shif + L.

3. Some keys require that a cell already has a valid numeric ormat.So i you get an error message then simply rst apply Comma style, then try again.

4. Finally please note that Excel's inbuilt "undo" memory is cleared each time you trig-ger a macro (not just these macros, but any macro).
