Some of the Excel templates provided contain "Macros" (built-in instructions which are executed when the file is open). Your version of EXCEL may be set with a default security setting preventing the running of user built-in macros; this because macros from unknown origin may contain viruses. You will have to enable the macro feature in your system (or disable the security feature which prevents the running of macros). For the case of the EFFUSION.XLS template, a version without macros (OLDEFFUSION.XLS) is available.
