Hi Kerry,
One more thing if you do have Excel installed but have lost the
association with the extension it can be fixed from
my computer, view, file types, or better by
reregistering Excel
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/slowresp.htm#reg

which is essentially running the following from Windows Start, Run
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" /regserver

check to see where Excel actually is first or try excel.exe /regserver

It is unlikely that you would have Excel on your machine and not
know it, as you have to pay extra when you purchase a machine,
or purchase it separately. But if you had run Excel on your machine
and lost the association with the file extension that is different.

Hi Kerry,
Don't have any idea what the other materials would have you
do with the page, but it is not normal to be in page break mode,
View (menu), Normal (in Excel) would bring you back to a normal view.

But if you want Excel tutorials there are lots of them available
on the web, links to a very small fraction of them can be seen at
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel....htm#tutorials
all of the those links are freely available, many of them being
university sites.

A look at the workbook suggests that it's not really worthwhile due to
design.
