Bypass Auto_open Macro in Excel 2007

[BradJohnson]

I used to be able to hold down the shift key to bypass the auto_open macro in
older versions of MS Excel, this does not appear to work in MS Excel 2007.
How do I bypass the auto_open macro now?

From an answer provided by Dave
Use file|open to select the file to open, then hit and hold the shift key
while clicking on the Open button, then clicking the "yes" button (to allow
macros--my security setting) while continuing to hold down the shift button,
the
auto_open procedure doesn't run.

I have the macros security set to low, so I do not receive the prompt to
allow macros.

For me Autpen does not run when I press Shift while double clicking the
xlsm file...

This is what MS says
"If you want Excel to start without running an Autpen macro, hold down
the SHIFT key when you start Excel."
