A. Enabling the Developer Menu in Microsoft Excel 2007 - The Developer menu in Microsoft Excel contains options to work with Microsoft Visual Basic, macros, sheet properties, and so on. In Microsoft Excel 2007 the Developer menu is not automatically enabled and does not appear on the menu ribbon in the default view of the Excel workspace.

6. Press Ok to close out of Excel Options.

7. Save the ExcelToCI spreadsheet

B. Macros - The Excel to Component Interface utility relies on macros; therefore, you must enable macros in Microsoft Excel for the utility to work. When a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet is opened, the system displays a dialog box asking you to select whether to enable macros on the spreadsheet. Always select Enable Macros so that the macros delivered with the Excel to Component Interface utility can function.  To ensure that the macros are available to run, you must set the security level in Microsoft Excel to allow macros to open.
