I understand about being paranoid about the alarms, I just downloaded the
file again and ran it with no bad side effects and it is a very good
worksheet to show what different formulas are used for, the macros are
mostly for moving around to the sheets, here is another link you might want
to look at

Have a look at the links posted on this site, under the heading of,

Using Excel 2002 & 2003

I really appreciate all the help you've given me on this. I did go to
that direct link and dl'd the file, but my security settings don't like
the macros in it, and I'm more than a bit paranoid about opening stuff
that sets off my alarms. As for the Excel tutorial at Microsoft, I am
absolutely certain that it would help me a whole bunch, but here's the
catch: After the basic introduction, the site wants you to download a
practice page .... which is 2003 ..... and if you are running 2002, you
get a prompt to upgrade to 2003, and you can go no farther with the
tutorial unless you cough up the bucks for 2003. Sneaky, yeah? When
you try to backtrack to 2002 tutorials, it always comes up in the 2003
tutorial, running into the same roadblock again. Marketing is a
fascinating form of skullduggery.
