Office 2000/XP/2003

The FAST Workbooks by Ross, Westerfield & Jaffe have been thoroughly checked for viruses by leading anti-virus software products. You can use these templates with confidence. The Office 2000/XP templates have digital signatures to further represent this protection. When you make an initial attempt to load a Spreadsheet Template in Office 2000/XP, you will be warned that the file contains macros, as illustrated below.

To select KMT Software, Inc. as a trusted source, select the check box titled Always trust macros from this source. After doing this, select the Enable Macros button. If you do not accept the macros in this trusted manner, the templates and add-ins will be loaded without the macros and will not work correctly.

Selecting the option Always trust macros from this source adds KMT Software, Inc. as a trusted source, which means that macros provided by KMT Software, Inc. will always be enabled and loaded without having Microsoft Office warn you about the macros it has detected.

Office 97

By default, Office 97 macro security is much less stringent. When Office 97 senses macros in a file, it prompts the user to “enable” or “disable” the macros. The files will not work correctly unless you enable the macros. To check your security level in Office 97, select Tools | Options and click the General tab.
