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.

 

 

 

 

Spreadsheets

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 can download a free great shareware clone of the Microsoft Office suite that includes an Excel compatible spreadsheet by going to: Click Here. If you are having difficulty with any course document you might want to check out the technical hints at: Technical Tips.

 

 

 

 

Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF files

Many of our class documents are available in an Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF file. To take advantage of these files, you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your system. Most newer computers come with it pre-installed. To determine if your system has Adobe Acrobat Reader, Click Here. If you are unable to open the document, you will have to download and install Adobe Acrobat Reader.
