MacNail estimating worksheets are very large--the
MacNail Estimator includes more than 15,000 cells, and over 1,400 rows. If you print out the whole
worksheet, you'll find it takes up a good chunk of wall space!
To make it easier to find what you want in such
a large area, we include a few 'navigational aids'.
*
The MacNail menu--use the MacNail menu (abbreviated to McN) to get to each of the major sections of the worksheet--Fixed
Costs, Dimensions, Specifications, Clearinghouse, and Summation. For more about this menu, see page 138.
*
Go To Category--you can jump quickly to any Specifications construction category--choose *Go To Category
from the MacNail menu, and double-click on the desired category in the scrolling list (see page 138).
*
Multiple windows--set up MacNail with multiple windows when running the MacNail construction estimating software
without the custom menus, when doing 'what-ifs',
or if you have plenty of room on your screen. Choose *Reset Windows from the FORMAT menu to change the window
display (see page 126).
NOTE: MacNail version 2.2 always used the multiple window display.
*
Scrolling controls--scroll up and down, right and left to see different parts of the worksheet. For more on the
use of Excel's scrolling controls, see page 170.
