Poof! Genie™ for Microsoft® Excel®

Poof! Genie for Microsoft Excel automatically compares and annotates Excel 2007, 2003, and XP worksheets.  A great tool for teachers!  Imagine comparing two worksheets in just seconds!  With a free 30-day trial, you have nothing to lose but the pile of papers on your desk.

People everywhere face the same dilemma.  We use computers to create documents, such as spreadsheets; but when it comes to checking one spreadsheet against another, we end up processing this task manually.  Somehow it just doesn’t seem to make sense to take a computerized document and check it manually…

That’s where Poof! Genie for Microsoft Excel comes in.  As an application developer and an instructor, I decided to make Microsoft Excel® check its own spreadsheets.  Just as you have an original or an answer key that you are using to compare another document against, Poof! Genie™ for Microsoft Excel does the same thing.  You specify the original and the file to be compared, and Poof! Genie for Microsoft Excel will do the rest.

Because no two people have the same needs, Poof! Genie for Microsoft Excel has numerous preferences for you to select.  Do you need to check the values of the cells, the formulas contained within, or both?  Do you need to check font formats?  If you are a teacher, for some activities, checking font formats is exactly what is needed.  If you don’t care what font was used, leaving that option unchecked speeds up the process.  You choose what you need because that is what makes a tool truly useful.

So now you have a couple of thoughts running through your mind.  How do I get started?  Download and install the application, and then see the "How to Poof!" tutorial in the Help file.  Can I get a Poof! Genie for Microsoft Word documents? Yes, Poof! Genie WXP works with Microsoft Word XP and Word 2003 documents. For Word 2007, the same functionality is available in the Compare feature under the Review tab within Microsoft Office Word 2007.
