> BEFORE YOU BEGIN
In order to keep all Excel spreadsheets organized make the following adjustments through “My Computer”. Open your Z:/ drive and create a general folder called “Excel”. Inside the “Excel” folder, create a sub folder and give it a descriptive name such as: Rosters+_Spreadsheets. Inside that folder create others and name them according to the semester.
Ex.
You may now close all windows and begin saving the Innovation Center templates into the folders.
Hint: You may save the templates as masters and every time a new student roster is pasted on, save it under a different name so that your master always remains blank and can be reused each semester instead of downloading from the web site.
