                             Aha! Excel 2007 seems to disable the macros more than other versions. Did
                           Microsoft change something? Is it something we can mistake-proof? And we
                           get more histogram questions than control chart questions. Can we improve
                           our online documentation about the histograms?
                             Get the idea? Use a check sheet to prototype your data collection efforts.
