• Bring your spreadsheet with you to the next class.

3. Adding Sheets
4. Printing

Download the following file(s) to your thumb drive or laptop. Right-click on the link and choose Save Link As, and select the location you want to download to (e.g., your thumb drive). If you just click on the link, it will open it in your browser, but you want to download, not open. Always choose Save Link As to download.

The file name notation is: XL4 (Excel Class 4), Ex# (which exercise it is).

The Slides are in PDF format. I'll be interested to know how helpful (or not) they are.
