Considerations with TTS Turbo Macros

As with many macro toolkits you lose the ability to undo (CTRL + Z) after executing a macro

TTS Turbo Macros might conflict legacy systems

TTS Macros can be installed in Mac computers depending on the version of Excel being used

Versions 2003 and 2011 will allow TTS Macros installation

Version 2008 will not allow any macros to be installed

Computers with different language settings may experience some or all of TTS Macros are not
working
File names are very important but can sometimes change when downloading.
downloading Make sure files
installed are named

When the AutoColor is Enabled you are continuously executing macros and therefore lose the ability
to undo
