ABOUT BOB'S MACROS
------------------

    Bob's Macros are designed to save you time in your use of Microsoft
Excel and eliminate repetitious tasks.  The macros will increase your
productivity every time you are in Excel.  The commands will save you
anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes each time you use them.
Added up over the course of a year that's a lot of time savings.
You do not have to be an expert to use the macros.  They are designed
for use by everyone.

    There are over 100 macros that comprise Bob's Macros.  These are
macros that I use personally in my job and I thought it would be useful
to you.  There is more to Bob's Macros than the list of macros that
appear when you click on Bob's Icon.  Bob's Macros adds commands to the
Excel menus found at the top of the screen, and to the pop up menus when
you press the right mouse button.  These pop up additions you will find
very useful in developing spreadsheets.

    The macros range from the simple to the very very powerful.  All are
designed for ease of use.  And, by the time you read this, they will
probably be a lot more than 100 macros, plus enhancements to the
original set of macros.  So, if you do register, I recommend that you
also ask for the latest release.

    By clicking on Bob's Icon or by selecting "Bob's Macros" from the
toolbar menu, you can see a list of almost all the commands.  You
can access many of the macros directly from the Excel Menus.  Also,
additional commands have been added to the Excel pop-up menus that are
not listed on the macro list.

    Another nice feature is the repeat icon.  If you run a macro from
the macro list, this icon is automatically customized to repeat the
command!  And, if you highlight the icon, it reminds you what the icon
is set to do.  Just another way to save you time.  Furthermore, you can
assign any of the macros to icons or let Bob's Macros assign them to an
icon for you!

    Please let me know what you think of the macros and any improvements
that are needed.  I use the macros every day and look forward to hearing
your comments.  And, If you think of a macro you would like to have
added, let me know when you register.


        Sincerely, Bob Flanagan, Macro Systems


INSTALLATION
------------

        Installation of Bob's Macros is very easy:

STEP 1

    If you are using Excel 5, copy the file BOBSMACS.XL5 to your Excel
startup directory.  If you are using Excel 4, copy the file BOBSMACS.XL4
to your startup directory.  DO NOT COPY BOTH FILES.  The startup
directory is almost always named "XLSTART" and is almost always a
subdirectory of your Excel directory.  By putting this in your startup
directory, it is loaded each time you load Excel.  This is extremely
important, as Bob's Macros are designed to help you all the time while you
are in Excel.  And if they are not loaded when you need them, you won't
get as much benefit.

    In case you are wondering, yes you can put the the files in a
directory other than your startup directory.  But, we don't recommend it
for obvious reasons.

STEP 2

        Copy the file BOBSMACS.HLP to your Windows directory.

STEP 3

        Try them and you'll like them.  Then register!
