1 PHStat2 Technical Requirements

Microsoft Windows Excel 2003, Excel 2007 or Excel 2010, or (Mac) OS X Excel 2011 with the latest Microsoft-supplied patches and service packs applied. For information about Excel versions published after the date of this read me file, see section 5. PHStat2 no longer fully supports Microsoft Windows Excel 2003 and requires that the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack be installed. Some advanced procedures will generate worksheets that display #NAME? error in one or more cells. For Microsoft Windows Excel, appropriate security settings as discussed in Section 2. 4 MB disk storage space for all files

2 Configuring Microsoft Windows Excel Security

To use PHStat2 successfully on Microsoft Windows versions, you first must review and change, if necessary, Microsoft Office security settings. Instructions differ from version to version.

2a Excel 2010 Security

You must change the Trust Center settings to allow PHStat2 to properly function. Follow these steps: 1. Click File Options. In the Excel Options dialog box: 2. Click Trust Center in the left pane and then click Trust Center Settings in the right pane. In the Trust Center dialog box: 3. Click Add-ins in the next left pane, and in the Add-ins right pane clear all of the checkboxes.

4. Click Macro Settings in the left pane and in the Macro Settings right pane click Disable all macros with notification. 5. Click OK to close the Trust Center dialog box. Back in the Excel Options dialog box: 6. Click OK to finish On some systems with stringent security settings, you may need to modify step 5. For such systems, in step 5, click Trusted Locations in the left pane and then, in the Trusted Locations right pane, click Add new location to add the folder path to the PHStat2 add-in (typically C:\Program Files\PHStat2) before you click OK.

2b Excel 2007 Security

You must change the Trust Center settings to allow PHStat2 to properly function. Click the Office Button and then click Excel Options (at bottom of the Office Button menu window). Then continue with steps 2 through 6 of the Excel 2010 Security instructions.

2c Excel 2003 Security

The Microsoft Office macro security level must be set to Medium in order to allow PHStat2 to properly function. Open Microsoft Excel and select Tools Macro Security. In the Security Level tab of the Security dialog box that appears, click the Medium option and then click OK. Setting the security level in this dialog box, affects all Microsoft Office programs. When you are finished using PHStat2, you can set the security level to High, for greatest security. (If you set the level to High, remember to reset the level to Medium before you next open and use PHStat2.). If you cannot see the Macro choice on the Tools menu, it may be hidden from view due to the way that Microsoft Office is currently displaying menu choices. To double-check this, open Microsoft Excel and select Tools Customize. In the Customize dialog box, clear (uncheck) the Menus show recently used commands first check box if it is checked and click Close. Clearing this check box will cause every Microsoft Office program to show every choice on every menu. (You can reverse this setting at any time.) Clearing this check box will also be helpful when using PHStat2 as you will be always able to see every choice on the PHStat menu that appears inside Excel.

3 Setting up and Using PHStat2

Download the PHStat2 files which are packaged as a zip archive. The archive contains the PHStat2.xlam file, the actual add-in; a copy of this file; PHStatHelp.pdf, a complete PHStat2 help system published as PDF file for use with both Mac and Windows computers, and PHStatHelp.chm, a complete PHStat2 help system that provides context-sensitive help for Microsoft Windows Excel users. Double-click the zip archive and expand and place the files in the same directory. At this time, you can optionally create shortcuts to the file for later, easier access to the files. You use PHStat2 by double-clicking the icon or folder listing (or shortcut) for PHStat2.xlam. If you

prefer, you can use the Excel (File) Open dialog box to open the PHStat2.xlam file directly. As PHStat2 begins to load, you will see a security warning message that discusses macros. Should this dialog box appear, click Enable Macros to allow PHStat2 to be opened. (If you are using Microsoft Windows and nothing happens, review Section 2 to make sure your system contains the correct security settings.) If PHStat2 loads properly, a PHStat menu will appear in the Add-Ins tab (Excel 2007 or Excel 2010) or in the menu bar (Excel 2003) or in the Apple menu (Excel 2011). In using Excel 2003, you will see a file conversion window as Excel translates PHStat2 into the older Excel 2003 format. If you have skipped checking for and applying necessary Excel updates, or if some of the updates were unable to be applied, you may see a Compile Error message that talks about a hidden module when you first attempt to use PHStat2. If this error occurs, check for, and apply, Excel updates. Then close Excel and reboot your system and begin again.

4 Microsoft Windows and Mac OS Differences

You open the same file, PHStat2.xlam, to use PHStat2 on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS systems. However, in OS X systems, dialog boxes will appear smaller and clicking Help in a procedures dialog box will display a message to review the PDF help system and will not display a context-sensitive help screen that would be seen if using Microsoft Windows. (If you are using OS X and prefer seeing individual Microsoft Windows-style help screens, you can download a free CHM file viewer from the Mac Apps store and use that app with the PHStatHelp.chm to manually view help screens in the Microsoft Windows style.)

5 Updating PHStat2
From time to time, PHStat2 may be updated to correct minor issues or to add new capabilities. You should regularly check the Pearson Education PHStat Web site at www.pearsonhighered.com/phstat for update news related to this version 3 (3.10). News and PHStat2 tips may be also available at the new phstatcommunity.org that was under development as of October 2012. Either of these sites will have information about PHStat2 compatibility as newer versions of Microsoft Excel are published. To download a updated version, use the MyStatLab course or downloads page (if it exists) for your book. These pages will always have the latest updated version available for download. You should only download from these sources or a secure source that is administered by your educational institution. PHStat2 versions other than 3 that you may find on the Internet are either obsolete or do not match discussion and instructions in your book or both and should not be used.

6 Troubleshooting PHStat2
PHStat menu fails to open or fails to appear. Your Excel macro security setting may be incorrect. Review instructions in Sections 2 and 3. Less likely, this problem can also be caused by certain settings in older security programs or by other third-party Office or Excel macros or add-ins that conflict with PHStat2. IF you have such programs, change the security program settings or temporarily disable the other add-ins to permit PHStat2 to open.

"Unexpected error" message when attempting to use a PHStat2 procedure. Review the PHStat2 help system topics for the procedure as well as the topic "Preparing Data for Analysis" to verify that any data necessary for the procedure has been properly organized in your worksheet and that cell ranges entered into dialog boxes contain no empty cells. Also review your column headings (variable labels). Headings that are long in length or that were entered as numbers may create unpredictable problems when using certain Excel functions and should be altered. If an unexpected message appears, any worksheets created by PHStat2 during the failed procedure should be ignored or deleted. "Compile error in hidden module" message. If you get an error message that mentions a compile error in a hidden module or workbook when you start PHStat2, you copy of Excel may not be properly updated. Check for updates for your copy of Microsoft Excel at office.microsoft.com/officeupdate.
