The interactive elements of this module use Microsoft Excel 97 and will not run unless this software (or a later version) is installed on your computer (or network). Excel uses settings taken from the first worksheet opened in the session, so please ensure that you do not have Excel already running when you start to use any of our spreadsheets.
