Using the Practice Files
Several of the topics refer to specific practice files. You can download the practice files if you would like to follow along with the printed steps. If there is only one file for a particular topic, right-click on the appropriate program icon to the right of the topic ( or or ). Choose "Save Target As..." (or "Save Link As...") and then save the file to a location you can easily find later. Make a note of the document location since you'll need to refer to it as you follow the handout.

If a topic uses multiple practice files, you will find them zipped together into one compressed zip file (). Detailed directions for downloading and unzipping the practice files can be found here.
