Manifest Creator - Original Creator - Last updated 11/15/22
Manifest Creator (MC) - Original Version was the Creator that started it all. This is the only format that the author "dreamed" up. See History for how this came about. In any case a sample of the Manifest Output is displayed below. As with all "creators" there are several Preferences that can be modified to change the look of the resulting Creator Manifest.
You will find the Excel "program" along with other necessary and/or supplemental files below the sample. The documentation is adequate but not up to the current release of MC. The format of this manifest is indented to be 8.5 x 11 inches utilizing a full sheet of printer paper.

Program Files
WARNING: It appears that some browser or operating systems are converting the .xlsm extension to xlsx. The MC contains macro code and at times folks use this to infiltrate your system. If you have issues and see that the extension has been changed to .xlsx, you will need to 'rename" the file and change the extension from .xlsx to .xlsm. If this does occur, I would like to know what browser and operating system you used when downloading the file. NOTE: .xls versions are not affected.
WARNING: With the increase in security you need to change the properties of files that you download. To do this Right-Click on the file, select Properties from the POP-UP menu - it is at the bottom of the list - then select the Unblock check box. See image below.
