5. Detailed Instructions for Installing
Download Documentation Tools.xla from web page.
Alternate Storage/Usage Methods (Choose one method only)
(Recommended) Store it in the Library directory (with the other add-ins), and then select it through the Tools/Add-Ins menu. If you have Administrator privileges, this will be something similar to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Library or …Office11\Libary, etc. Then in Excel, go to Add In Manager, and select the Documentation Tools item. If you don’t have Administrator privileges, store it in C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Microsoft\AddIns.
(2nd best) Save to Excel’s XLStart folder (similar to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\XLStart, or …Office11\XLStart). Excel will automatically load this every time Excel starts.
(3rd best) Save it anywhere on your hard disk. When you want to use the macros/functions, open Documentation Tools.xla, and the new menu will appear. The potential problem with this approach is that if you use the user-defined functions and later don’t have the Documentation Tools.xla file open, these functions will have an error result.
