DaveBaxt Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share #31 Posted April 17, 2021 Ok This is where I am at the moment. I had another go at running the Excel programme ( once I got online with my Microsoft account) However I am still unable to open any exsisting excel files which I have downloaded.For some reason when I press file and open it only lists any new excel files but does not give me the option of searching my folders for anything I have down loaded. Once again I would like to thank everyone for all their help. However I am spending more time trying to work this out than working on my model. So I have just about given up with this and I am sorry I didn't manage to get this sorted. I will just have to do it the hard way. Although my build might not be totally accurate it will do for me for now,having just started the hobby and building my first period model ship.Perhaps one day I will come back to this, if I ever build a ship from scratch and need to make my own mast and spars or make my own rope. In the mean time I will just try and use rope which is near enoughand is readily available to buy . I will try and use brown rope for my next build which I should be able to buy on line in lots of different sizes, if not perhaps I will consider making my own.Best regards Dave mtaylor 1 Quote Completed St Canute Billings Dec 2020 Completed HMS Bounty Amati May 2021 Finished Currently building HM Bark Endeavour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
