How to Copy Files From the CD
to
a 3.5-inch Disk in Drive A
To Copy the Student CD to a 3.5-inch Disk
All the files on the Excel CD that came with your book will not fit on one 3.5-inch disk. Before you begin each lesson, I will list the names of the files you will need to copy to a disk in Drive A to complete the lesson. On the same disk, you can save the files that you create for the lesson.
- Insert the Excel CD from your book into the CD-ROM drive (wait a few seconds for it to load).
- Insert a formatted 3.5-inch disk in disk drive A.
- At the Windows desktop, click the Start button on the Taskbar, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer to open the program and display the Windows Explorer.
- In Windows Explorer, click the down-pointing triangle at the right side of the Address list box to drop-down a list of items, and click the drive where the Word CD is located.
In the step below, select the files for Lesson 1 named:
Alpha1.xls
Alpha2.xls
Alpha3.xls
Alpha4.xls
Alpha5.xls
Alpha6.xls
- Click the first file you want to copy to highlight it, and then hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard, and while holding, click any other files you want to copy to select them with highlighting. Note: I will list the files you will need for each lesson before you begin the lesson.
- Click the Copy button from the Windows Explorer toolbar.
- Click the down-pointing triangle at the right side of the Address list box to drop-down the list, and click the 3 1/2 Floppy (A) drive.
- Click the Paste button on the Windows Explorer toolbar.
- After the folders finish copying to your disk, close Windows Explorer by clicking the Close button
that is located in the upper right corner of Windows Explorer.
To Delete Files
When a disk gets full, you can delete files you no longer need. I recommend you buy or use a new disk and save the information on your old disk as you may need it at a later time.
- At the Windows desktop, click the Start button on the Taskbar, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer to open the program and display the Windows Explorer.
- Click the down-pointing triangle at the right side of the Address list box to drop-down a list of items, and click the drive where the files you want to delete are located.
- Click the first file you want to delete to highlight it, and then hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard, and while holding, click any other files you want to delete to select them with highlighting.
- Click the Delete button from the Windows Explorer toolbar.
- At the prompt that appears asking if you want to delete the files, click Yes to delete the files.
- Close Windows Explorer by clicking the Close button
that is located in the upper right corner of Windows Explorer.
