Numbering add-in ? / Office 97 purchase order sheet in 2002

[Anthony M. Steve]

I've recently rolled out new pc's, with Office XP, to a
group of users who were running Office 97. They had used
the purchase order template to create a bunch of standard
po's, with all of them using a common file to obtain the
po number. With security settings set to medium, the
worksheet opens up when macros are enabled, but the "pur
order" popup does not appear to allow the po number to be
updated. If I try manually running the "AssignNumbers"
macro, I get "The numbering add-in must be
loaded . . .". I've searched all over, and can't find
any info on a "numbering add-in".

If I "disable macros" when opening the spreadsheet, I
get "This workbook contains a type of macro (... version
4.0 macro) that cannot be disabled ...". If I tell it to
open the workbook anyway, I get the "pur order" popup but
when I click on "assign number" I get "Macros in this
workbook are disabled ...".

Any help getting all of these spreadsheets to work again
would be *greatly* appreciated!

Think I'm finally on track to get this resolved . . . I
finally discovered that the purchase order template used,
even though it came with Office, was actually from
Village Software. It's not included with Office XP, so
if we want to continue using those spreadsheets, I'll
have to buy the template/form from Village Software.

Hope this info may save someone else some
time/effort/headaches . . .
