XL2BB Icons greyed out

I just encountered the problem of the file not being trusted. Navigate to the directory where you stored it, right-click it, choose Properties and by the bottom of the dialog box there should be a checkbox to unblock it. Check it, press Apply, exit Excel and open it again.
So, do you have XL2BB working now?
 
Here's a test post, using XL2BB to copy a table and paste it into the quick post

Just for info those instructions are in the Install instructions for XL2BB in the link in the part below (under Preparing to Install the Add-In).

Note:
If you have difficulties installing the add-in, please take a look at this amazing article from Jon Peltier - Install an Excel Add-in.

You can also put the file in a trusted location (folder) on your computer

If you didn't know there is also a Test forum (btw I'd recommend using the Mini sheet option in XL2BB for 99% of posts as it gives the column headers and row numbers)
