Join Jennifer McBee for an in-depth discussion in this video Using the exercise files, part of Cert Prep: Excel 2016 Microsoft Office Specialist (77-727).
- [Instructor] The Exercise Files in this course are free for all members. To start, you should download the Exercise File package to a location on your computer, like the desktop, such as I did here. When I open the folder, is see a series of files broken down by chapter. I'll tell you when to open each file as we proceed through the course. If you open a file during one of these courses, I recommend you use Save As so that you don't overwrite the original file. That way, you'll have the document you are working on as well as the original file available to you. If you accidentally overwrite the original file, you can always download the exercise Files again from the lynda.com website.
