Paul,
"Excel" is a particularly powerful, and popular, spreadsheet program
written by your beloved Microsoft Corporation. It is a part of
Microsoft's Office Suite, which includes the word processor "Word" and a
presentation package PowerPoint for view graphs.
These are NOT the integrated suites, such as Microsoft Works, but
professional tools that cost around $350 for an upgrade, having been
around since 1994. Excel, by itself, is probably $199 without a
registered previous version, and is of little help to someone who does
not do a lot of mathematical calculations, and graphs of data.\
BUT, the download is FREE. Just click on the link, like it says, and it
will be written to your specified hard disk location. To USE it, you
need the program.
We will be putting some material, with significant numbers of pages, in
Adobe's PDF format. A free PDF reader is available from Adobe.com, and
allows you to see the document as it was originally laid out, on your
computer screen, page through it, and even print it. There will be a
"hot link" in the article page on that will take you do Adobe for a free
download of their "reader". The software to "create" these documents is
not free.
On the "Bolts", you can always print the screen version from your
computer to your printer.
