SetPrintBorders
This template provides necessary macros to build up engineering calculations for
quick re-calc and clear presentation.
validate and calculate all the variables and formulae. All variable referenced in the
formulae have to be defined in the same sheet. The name of variable cannot
duplicate the 'reserved words' of Excel, such as SIN, SQRT.
Save the file 'template_mg123.xls' with another appropriate name. Ensure this file
(mg123.xls) is put in the same directory as your newly saved file.
This macro sets up margins and footers.
most engineering calculations end up with some 'efficiency' or 'sufficiency'
evaluations, i.e. calculations by 'load/capacity'. If many sufficiency/efficiency
calculations are formatted as that in sheet 'sample', this macro will pick up the
maximum (the limit value) of them and display it in cell i1.
Use macro 'formatted' to calculate the defined formulae. Bring up a list of macro
by ALT-F8.

CREDITS
This template is first created by Mr. Michael Gedig using the ideas from Dr. S. F.
Stiemer's and Mr. David S.K. "auto123.wks". Mr. Ye Zhou got his hands on it and
further improved it a bit.
This macro sets up borders for printing. So far it is quite slow and needs
improvement.
Adjust column widths so that it looks like that in sheet 'sample'.
