IMPORTANT Setup Directions for Excel

  • Macro Security must be set to Medium or Low. Setting it to High will not permit the CAPM software to function. This change should be made before opening the firsttime.xls file. How Do I Do This?
  • Solver Add-In for Excel must be installed. To check this, click on the “Tools” menu with Excel, and then click on “Addins.” Scroll down the resulting list to see if the “Solver Add-in” box is checked. If it is not checked, check it and click “OK.” If Solver is not listed in the Add-Ins dialog box, you may have to re-install Excel and select the option to install Solver.
  • Starting CAPM the first time: Open the firsttime.xls file in the CAPM folder. This program sets up certain paths for the program. Before quitting CAPM after using it for the first time, choose “Save” from the “File” menu. Then click the “Quit” option in the CAPM toolbar at the bottom of the Excel window.
  • Starting CAPM subsequent times: Open the Capm.xls file in the CAPM folder. Always use the “Quit” option in the CAPM toolbar at the bottom of the Excel window.
