FAQ: Manually enable Excel add-ins

Instructions

1. Open Excel and click the File ribbon.

2. Click Options, the very last menu item near the bottom.

3. On the left, click Add-ins.

4. In the Manage drop down, make sure that Excel Add-Ins is selected

5. Click Go.

6. On the resulting page, make sure the three add-ins (N1Ribbon, Narrative1 Appraisal Engine, and Narrative1 Database) are checked.

7. If problems persist, or if these add-ins are not visible, click Browse. Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Narrative1. Select each of the three add-ins and click OK to re-add them. This will have to be done once for each add-in. Copying and pasting the file path may be helpful to allow a quick return to the folder. The file names are N1Ribbon.xlam, N1Engine.xla, and N1DB.xla.

In some cases, users may need to set the Narrative1 program files folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Narrative1 by default) as a trusted location for add-ins to work.
