This is the same as the old one but with all the activities cut out. Do not change or rename this file. It’s designed to create a new timesheet when it’s double-clicked, with all the right days worked out for you. It won’t work from within this email. You need to save it as follows:

DO NOT right-click the attachment and select ‘Save As…’.

Click the File menu and select ‘Save Attachments…’
Save it somewhere on you H drive where you’ll be able to find it easily. DO NOT change the name. If you already have a file called timesheet.xlt, you can either overwrite it with this one or rename it to something else before saving this one. The old one won’t work once it’s been renamed, but at least you won’t have lost it before making sure this one works.

Once you’ve saved this file to your hard drive, all you need to do is double-click it to create a new timesheet for the month. Save the new sheet as anything you like, e.g. February2005.xls or whatever and then don’t touch the template file until you want a new one.

people with a commercial nosey attitude for purplish greenish creatures from outerspace...

Why did I think this thread was going to be rude?

In the right spirit:

[What on Earth was that code in post 650, Ste?]

This business of warning people of imaginary dangers is getting out of hand. We all know about the packets of nuts that have a legend on the side: "Contains nuts", but the other day we went to see a play - Amy's View by David Hare, on a pre-West End run - and a notice outside the auditorium said: "Includes loud bang, haze, and smoking".
And indeed the character played by Felicity Kendall did smoke. But why did we need to be told in advance? Were the management afraid that small children would scream, "Mummy, that lady has put a burning stick in her mouth!" Will we need to be told beforehand every time an actor plays someone who puts their health in hazard: "Warning: drinking". Or "Some characters depicted may not be getting their six portions of fruit or vegetables per day." And if we have to be carefully prepared to watch someone smoking, shouldn't we also know about violent death? "King Lear. Contains blinding."

>> "King Lear. Contains blinding." <<

Dagnabbit, stop giving all these spoilers! You've ruined it for me now...

oops...

I'm not sure what you are saying there - that I was being illogical like that?

var sb=document.getElementById("sidebar-box"); if (!sb.hidden && sb.getAttribute("sidebarcommand") == 'viewWebPanelsSidebar') { toggleSidebar('viewWebPanelsSidebar'); } else { openWebPanel('h2g2 - My Conversations', 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/MP110916?skip=&show=&s_type=pop&s_upto=&s_target=conversation'); }

They're hid in the cupboard.

Also, this is rather rude. Don't click if profanity offends.
