2. PAT 3 – Guide
Ensure that you enable macro’s in your chosen software. The
workbook will be compatible with the following software:
• Excel Version
Microsoft Excel 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013
Microsoft Excel for Mac 2004 and 2011*
• Lotus Symphony version
IBM Lotus Symphony – Free Office Software (a guide to downloading this can
be found at www.norwich.anglican.org/finance/parish/pat)
If you encounter any macro issues, support documentation is
available at: www.norwich.anglican.org/finance/parish/pat/troubleshooting
* Microsoft excluded Macro support from Excel for Mac 2008 so this is sadly not compatible with PAT 3

Things to remember
• Cells which can be completed are shaded green
• Do not use cut and paste, as this can cause the workbook to fail
• Some information will not appear in its respective sheets unless
the data is entered into the Details tab. For example, the years
will not appear in your summaries until they are selected on the
Details tab

Where a column appears to show #### instead of numbers, you
can widen the column by double clicking the rows at the top of the
