Chapter 6 - students complete step-by-step to learn spreadsheet concepts presented:
Follow steps from pages 423-477.  However, please be particularly careful that you follow exactly the steps on the following pages because you could mess up your work easily if you don't. In fact, I would look ahead and mark these pages some way to make you stop and be very careful:

Page 433 (Saving the template file)
Page 447 (Open the template file and save it as an Excel Workbook)
Page 452 (at the top of the page.  Follow steps to deselect worksheets)
Pages 457-458 (Enter and copy a 3-D reference formula)
STOP on page 476 and print whole workbook. DO NOT E-MAIL this file.

BONUS:
5 points - Search and Replace activity on pages 481 - 484.
10 points - Consolidating Data by Linking Workbooks on pages 485 - 491.
