Summary:

When Multiplan loads a worksheet, it checks for a macro named
AUTOEXEC. If it exists, Multiplan executes it immediately. 

The AUTOEXEC macro is useful for such things as setting defaults that
are not otherwise set by Multiplan itself in the INI file. For
example, you can have the AUTOEXEC macro set new column widths for a
portion of the worksheet. 

Another use for the AUTOEXEC macro is to initiate the running of a
custom menu of your own design that will replace the regular menu
immediately upon loading of the spreadsheet.
