[null,"Getting Started"]
[null,"To take full advantage of this tool, you will need to enable Macros that are embedded in this file.  The Macros are needed and enable the search functions on the file.  Macros are enabled in different ways depending on which version of Excel you are using. When you open the spreadsheet, at the top you may see a \"Security Warning\" banner which states \"Some active content has been disabled\".  At this point the security warning will either have an \"Enable Content\" button where you can click to enable the Macros, or you will see an \"Options\" button.  If you have an \"Enable Content\" button, click on it and Macros will be enabled. "]
[null,"If you have an \"Options\" button, click on it and it will open a dialogue box (see below) which describes the Security Alert for Macros.  Please click on the \"Enable this content\" button in the dialogue box to enable the macros."]

[null,"Please Note: This spreadsheet is designed as a tool to help BF AWP grantee communities start their search for possible implementation resources that will help with the realization of the goals and visions developed through their process and the identification, assessment and remediation of brownfield properties.  The information contained in this spreadsheet was compiled from publicly available, pre-existing documents, websites, and other online materials.  EPA has made every effort to provide the most appropriate and up to date information using these resources.  The tool will need to be updated regularly to keep it current, but this is a snapshot of where things stand as of May 2012."]

[null,"Searching"]
[null,"A preliminary search by eligibility criteria has already been performed for your convenience.  Local, State, Tribal, Non-Profit, and Rural specific entitities can simply click on the corresponding tab at the bottom of the worksheet to identify the programs for which they are eligibile.  The Core Resources and Accessory Resources worksheets, which can be accessed through the tabs located at the bottom of the spreadsheet, are fully searchable! To start a search on a specific keyword or phrase, click on the ‘SEARCH’ button located near the top of either spreadsheet (or use the button to the right). \n                  \n\n***Please Note:  This spreadsheet does not guarantee a user's eligibility, eligibile uses or program availability.  \n\nOnce you click on the ‘SEARCH’ button, you will be prompted to type in a search term. Please note that the BF AWP tool will search for the exact keyword or phrase you enter. For example, if you search for the term 'rural grant', the tool will only display results containing that exact phrase. If you would like to search multiple terms, such as ‘rural’ and ‘grant’, enter one term initially, then click the ‘SEARCH MORE...’ button that appears at the top of your search results tab. This will allow you to search on an additional term and expand your search results. The results from the second search will be appended to those of the first search.\n\nYour results will appear on the Search Results spreadsheet, which can be accessed through the Search Results tab located at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

[null,"Filtering"]
[null,"On both the Core Resources and the Accessory Resources spreadsheets, there are drop down boxes        next to each column header. When you click on these boxes, they allow you to filter the information listed in that specific column. These dropdown boxes allow you to sort the information alphabetically or filter information based on a text search, numeric values, etc.\n\nWith the filters, you can unselect the 'Select All' checkbox to deselect all available options. After doing so, you can select individual options that are of interest.\n\nIf a filter is being used, the button located at cell C2 will change color from red (the filter is off) to green (the filter is on), and display the number of records that matched the search criteria. \n\nTo turn off the filters, click on the 'Clear Filters' button at the top of the spreadsheet. This will change cell C2 from green back to red, denoting that no filters are activated.\n\nFor more information about using filters, go to: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/filter-data-in-a-range-or-table-HP010073941.aspx"]
