Reabanks Editor

This Excel-based utility is designed to manage creating and maintaining Reaticulate reabanks (articulation maps) in spreadsheet form. The workbook contains data inported from existing .reabank files.

This is a quick-n-dirty approach to creating and editing .reabanks: tack is developing a far more sophisticated part of Reaticulate which will make this obsolete.

Note: This document is still very rough - just a stub, really.

How to Best Use Help

While Reabanks Editor’s use seems pretty straight-forward to the developer, he realises that his approach to running software could differ wildly to other inhabitants of the solar system run software: hence, this Help file.

Why this approach to a Help file? See the footnote [1].

From The Menu

When this workbook loads, it includes a special Menu option – next to “Help” – called “Reabanks Editor”:

Help, much like the rest of the document is a work-in-progress, so all topics may not be covered.

The same goes for the VBA code: it works 99% of the time, but every now and then, the VBA gremlins interfere.

Notes

[1]

As Microsoft in their wisdom didn’t see fit to include a means to provide a very flexible custom help documentation system without installing questionable add-ons - something most security-conscious IT departments of organisations would definitely never permit - a method of sharing help information had to be come up with that would provide that information quickly, consistently and accurately. Therefore, I have chosen HTML (think: Web) pages for documenting Help. The degree of success in finding help in these pages depends on how the user generally searches for help on a computer, but I would suggest this approach.

Reabanks Editor - Worksheets

Worksheets Overview

This workbook contains reabanks data, quickly generated via “Select All” in the text editor, [Copy], selecting the “A1” cell and then, [Paste].

How Reabanks Editor Works

When “Reabanks Editor” is first opened in Excel, security settings commonly set by organisations may issue a security warning:

• Some active content has been disabled. Click for more details.

Next to this warning is a button labelled [Enable Content]. While the spreadsheet’s data can be viewed without “enabling content”, the menu and other features in this workbook will only run if the content is enabled. The only needs to be done once.
