Excel 2000 numbering add-in

[Kevin Withers]

I'm not sure which Discussion Group this belongs in, so feel free to move it
to the proper one.

I'm running Excel 2000. My new employer just sent me an expense template,
but when I try to open it I get:

"The numbering add-in must be loaded for optimal numbering and toolbar
behavior. Please load this add-in into your Library directory."

Where do I find this add-in, and how woud I load it into my Library directory?

Thanks

Check with your employer - sounds like they didn't send all they needed to.
You can double-check by choosing Tools | AddIns and looking in the list for
something named numbering add-in. Not a standard one that I know of. If you
see something that looks like a candidate, check the box and close it up and
reopen the Excel file and see if it behaves any better - if not, call your
employer.

The numbering add-in TMPLTNUM.XLA is normally installed with Excel 2000.

Newer versions of Excel do not come with the add-in.

If you cannot find that file on your computer of install from CD then you can
pick up a copy here.

It is the 97 version but I use it on 2003 with no problems.

In Tools>Add-ins it is listed as Template Utilities if installed in your
Office\Library

That was it, Gord. I found the file in an old backup. I don't know why it
was no longer where it was supposed to be. But now I'll know what to do if
something similar happens again.

Thanks so much!
