Working with Lab Worksheets

Each lab in this manual requires that you answer questions, shoot screen shots, and
perform other activities that you will document in a worksheet named for the lab, such as
Lab01_worksheet.doc. You will find these worksheets on the book companion site. It is
recommended that you use a USB flash drive to store your worksheets, so you can submit
them to your instructor for review. As you perform the exercises in each lab, open the
appropriate worksheet file using Word, fill in the required information, and save the file
to your flash drive.
