Each <br />Overview <br />worksheet is indicated by a tab at the bottom of the screen. You may visit each worksheet by selecting it's tab. <br />Most calculations are automated. Cells that display informational text and the results of calculations are write - <br />protected and cannot be edited. <br />Save Files <br />This file is saved in the same manner as any standard Excel file. <br />Getting <br />Some forms have two pages. Both pages are available on screen when you select the tab for a form (worksheet). Use <br />Around <br />the scroll bars to find the second page located below the first page. <br />All general project information and the date are entered once on PROJ-SUM. This information is automatically <br />replicated on all other ENV forms. The PROJ-SUM form accompanies all other ENV forms. <br />Only input cells are accessible. If you try to edit a write -protected cell an error message will appear requesting a <br />password. A password IS NOT required to complete these forms. You may use the TAB key to move to the next input <br />cell. If the TAB doesn't take you where you want to go, use your mouse to move around the form. <br />Avoid excessively long text strings when entering information. In some cases, text that extends beyond the available <br />Input Cells <br />space will not be visible. In most cases the text will wrap within the cell. This may force part of the form onto a new page. <br />To enter the date, use this format: mm/dd/yyyy. For example, you would enter 7/1/2013 or 12/21/2014. <br />Check boxes can be checked or unchecked by clicking in the box with your mouse. Radio buttons (circles) allow only <br />one in a set to be selected. <br />Drop -down lists have an arrow at the right side of the cell. Click on the arrow with your mouse and select the <br />appropriate option. Use the delete button on your computer to clear a drop -down entry. <br />When a form has a space for notes or explanation, click anywhere in the space to edit. <br />Personalizing <br />You can personalize the forms with your company name, address, phone, or any other information. This is done by <br />editing the header or footer in Excel. <br />Many tables, such as for listing envelope assembly types, have a certain number of lines available for entering data. <br />Adding Lines <br />You may need more lines to enter all your information. Where this feature is available, you can add additional lines to the <br />and <br />table by selecting the "+" button on the right hand side of the table with your mouse. If you can't see the "+" button, scroll <br />to the right or increase the View Zoom setting for the worksheet. <br />Removing <br />To remove lines that you have added, select the %" button with your mouse. You cannot remove lines that were not <br />added; an error message will appear if you try. <br />If you add additional lines with this method, the pagination may be affected forcing the forms to carry additional lines <br />over to other pages. Be sure to submit all pages to the plans examiner. <br />Compliance <br />You must select a Compliance Path on ENV -SUM (line 12) to activate the correct input method for Window -to -Wall <br />Path <br />and Skylight -to -Roof ratios. <br />Occupancy <br />You must select an Occupancy Group on ENV -SUM (line 14).
