I've only just found this thread
The spreadsheets don't work for me eitherTechnically they *should* but somewhere along the line, it's coming up with 11 errors something to do with the formulas being too long or unrecognisable. Not a problem because I have my own spreadsheets anyway - but, others may encounter the same difficulty (and that would be a great pity due to the work that has gone into them)
Please may I recommend (squeaky? madfrenchgirl? ) that the file which contains a column for Pin Money be altered?
There ought to be TWO columns for Pin Money because it is actually two (different) sets of figures: *actual* PMS and *virtual* PMS

Thanks
Microsoft Works (all the items I tried to openThey *sort of* opened, but, due to the errors it doesn't read/calculate correctly - Works supports .xls and .xlr )
Like I say, not an issue for me because I designed and use my own spreadsheets (as well as Money).~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hm. They work fine in Excel as far as I know. I'm not sure just how good works is.

I have downloaded the menu planner but cannot open is as don't have excel (like so many people here) I only have Works. I can download excel viewer but that won't let me edit it. What do I do????
Am only up at this time as have a stinking cold and OH is snoring so loud the bed is shaking :eek:0 -
I can only ask the authors if excel will save the spreadsheets in a format that Works can deal with properly and to email me copies so that I can put them on the web page.
So excel authors, is this possible please?Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.

I've just been working on some spreadsheets in Excel so had a quick look at the "save to" options, and there's quite a list in the drop down box including, I think, Works? - WKS (1-2-3).
If I get a moment I'll type out the full list so you can see which formats might be useful to have"An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"
