Don't you
hate it when a trial version expires before you've had
a chance to evaluate it to your complete satisfaction?
Or disables the best
features, so you can't evaluate those features at all?
That doesn't happen with
inspector text. |
However, every third time an
inspector text function calculates, a pop-up window will appear. You must click OK on the
pop-up window for inspector text to return its result. Every fifth of these pop-up
windows (every 15th time an inspector text function calculates) will
present you with a random text string that must be typed in before the OK button
becomes enabled. The random text strings start out 3 characters long, and grow
by 1 character with each string, up to 12 characters. If you cancel one of the
pop-up windows that ask for a text string, the next calculation skips to the next
pop-up window that asks for a text string. To start over at 3 characters, you must
restart Excel. To avoid these pop-up windows, simply buy a paid edition.

If you click Cancel or
press the Escape key to dismiss the pop-up window,
the inspector text function returns this:
Thank you for using

you must click 'OK' on the pop-up windows to get the desired return value
(no pop-up windows appear on the paid versions). |
This ensures that you have
as much time as you desire to fully evaluate any features
you wish in the product before making a
purchase decision, while providing a realistic disincentive to perpetual freeloading.
And if you use the product only very rarely, or have more time than money, you
can enjoy a great product free of charge, without being nagged or made to feel
guilty.
If you're running an
evaluation test with the Free Edition that has a very large number of
inspector text functions, you may prefer one of these alternatives to typing in the
text required by every 15th inspector text Free Edition function calculation:
-
Enter only a maximum of 14
inspector text functions at a time. After each 14, copy the cells with inspector
text functions and choose Paste Special | Values, then save the workbook and restart
Excel.
-
Set calculation to manual,
and enter all the formulas with inspector text functions.
Then send the workbook to me. I'll run it for you. Then I'll Copy / Paste
Special | Values all the inspector text formulas (so that you can see the results
without having to calculate them on your machine), and return the worksheet to
you.
