Notice to MS-Office XP Users of Farmplan

  1. Set your “Security Level” in Excel to medium before giving your Farmplan to your lender or to other Excel users. This will enable Excel ’97 users to open your Excel XP file. To do this, follow “How to” below.

  2. If Excel XP won’t allow you to “Enable Macros” - then your Security Level is probably set at “High” by default. Change the security level to “Medium”. Follow “How to” below.

  3. “How To” set Security to Medium: In Excel XP, select Tools, Options and then select the Security tab. Click on the “Macro Security” button, then select “Medium.” Then close and re-open Farmplan and select “Enable Macros” when prompted. Save before giving to others.
