- under the MSOFFICE and EXCEL directories (for example,
- C:\MSOFFICE\EXCEL\LIBRARY).
-
- For Macintosh users :
-
- For standalone Excel 5.0, you will find the Macro Library folder
- directly inside the Microsoft Excel 5 folder (for example, Hard
- Disk:Microsoft Excel 5:Macro Library).
- For MS Office 4.2 or 4.2.1, you will find the Macro Library folder
- inside the Microsoft Excel 5 folder (for example, Hard Disk:Microsoft
- Office 4.2.1:Microsoft Excel 5:Macro Library).

- Version History
-
- Version 1.2 -- (5 Feb 97)
-
- A new function “EPT Number->Text” has been added, which
- translates numbers into English text. (In the registered version),
- this function appears both in form of a worksheet function
- (EPTNUM2TXT) as well as a function on the EPT menu.
-
- A new Edwin’s Power Tools Tool Bar has been included (registered
- version only). Functions of EPT can now be accessed from the tool bar.
-
- “Insert In Between...” now select the correct range after inserting
- the columns/rows.
-
- Minor bug fixes.
-
- A registration form in Adobe Acrobat 3.0 format is included in
- the shareware archive.
-
- Version 1.1.2 -- (27 Jan 97)
-
- Fixes a problem which causes some of the Excel 5 for Windows
- to quit unexpectedly while EPT is trying to modify the shortcut
- menus. This problem also causes a "Not enough memory to start
- Excel" error while trying to launch Excel again. Excel cannot
- be restarted without restarting Windows. This problem is not
- caused by errors in the VBA codes but by the inconsistency of
- Excel 5 across the PC and Mac platforms.
