| Assignment
worksheets |

The
Assignment Worksheets are simple Word documents produced on Microsoft
Word. Once open, Word documents can be saved to your hard disk just
like any other document you might create on your computer. To explore
your options of printing, saving etc., just right click on the Click Here
hyperlink before you even open the document.
Any
recent word processor should open the files without difficulty. If you
are using a very old word processor or using a trial or light version
(MS Works, etc.) word processor you might not be able to access the
documents properly. Depending upon the browser you are using, the
Microsoft Office documents may open in your browser window. If that
occurs, you can use them interactively inside of your browser window and
then save the documents to your local hard disk.
Each Assignment Worksheet has a duplicate text version. If you
are experiencing difficulties opening the Word version of the Assignment
Worksheets, try opening the text version. The text versions are identical
to the full versions, they are just not as interactive and have no
graphics. The text version should load regardless of your word processor
or lack thereof. If, by chance, you encounter a dialog box asking for
a user name and password, just click cancel and proceed with the lesson.
If you do not have a recent word processor, you
can download a free great shareware clone of the Microsoft Office suite,
by going
to: Click
Here or another at Click Here. If you are having difficulty with any course document, you might
want to check out the technical hints at: Technical
Tips.

The
spreadsheet documents are produced using Microsoft Excel. Once open, the
Excel documents can be saved to your hard disk just like any other
document you might create on your computer. To explore your options
of printing, saving etc. just right click on the Click Here
hyperlink before you even open the document.
Any
recent spreadsheet software should open the files without
difficulty. If, by chance, you encounter a dialog box
asking for a user name and password, just click cancel and proceed
with the lesson. If your spreadsheet software is not compatible with
Microsoft Excel, we will always provide an Adobe PDF alternative that
you can print out on your printer. The PDF versions are
identical to the Excel versions; they are just not as interactive.
If you do not have Adobe Acrobat reader installed on your system,
look at the next sub heading.
If you do not have spreadsheet software, you
