MITCalc Integrated environment.

The integrated environment can be used for beginning individual calculations and setting the global parameters of calculations.

Start of the integrated environment.

If you wish to use the integrated environment, the MITCalc.xla Add-In must be installed into the environment of MS Excel first. The installation can be started by clicking on the item "MITCalc Add-In Installation" in the Start Menu of Windows. The integrated environment can then be started using one of the following ways:

1. From the Start Menu - the "MITCalc" command
2. From the Excel Tools - the "MITCalc"command
3. From the MITCalc pull-down menu in the Excel main menu – "MITCalc Integrated environment" command
4. From the active calculation - using the button in the upper left corner of the sheet called "Calculation"

Note: A detailed description on how to install the Add-In can be found in the appropriate chapter.

Setting a language can be done by selecting the respective button in this dialog. Pressing the "OK" button initiates translation of the dialog of the MITCalc integrated environment. At the same time there is set a global attribute and any other calculation that is started will be then governed by this setting and by starting it, the translation is also initiated.

Warning: Setting a global language only affects the installed calculations. In copies of the calculations saved under a different name, this setting has no effects and the calculation will be started with the language that was set in the calculation last time is was saved.

If the check box is enabled, pressing the "OK" button adds a "MITCalc" command into the Excel "Tools" pop-up menu. The dialog of the Integrated environment can then be started using this command. In order to remove the "MITCalc" command from the menu, the check box must be disabled.
