Step 4: Saving Your Spreadsheet<br />

After filling in the form, use the “Save As” command <strong>to</strong> save and rename the<br />

file. Because all the files are “read-only,” you will not be able <strong>to</strong> use the “Save”<br />

command. This is for your protection. If you save the file without renaming it,<br />

you will overwrite the original financial planning spreadsheet, and you will not<br />

be able <strong>to</strong> create a new document with this file without recopying the original file<br />

from the CD-ROM.<br />

If you do not know how <strong>to</strong> use your spreadsheet program <strong>to</strong> save a<br />

document, you will need <strong>to</strong> look through the manual for your spreadsheet<br />

program—Nolo’s technical support department will not be able <strong>to</strong> help you<br />

with the use of your spreadsheet program.<br />

Listening <strong>to</strong> the Audio Files<br />

This section explains how <strong>to</strong> use your computer’s media player <strong>to</strong> listen <strong>to</strong><br />

the audio files. All audio files are in MP3 format. (Most computers come<br />

with a media player that plays MP3 files.) For ex<strong>amp</strong>le, “FMLA: <strong>The</strong> Human<br />

Side” is on the file <strong>The</strong>HumanSide.mp3. At the end of this appendix, you’ll<br />

see a list of the audio files and their file names.<br />

You can listen <strong>to</strong> files that you have installed on your computer, or you can<br />

listen without having installed the files <strong>to</strong> your hard disk (see “Playing the<br />

Audio Files Without Installing,” below).<br />

Please keep in mind that these are general instructions—because every<br />

media player is unique, these steps may not mirror the steps you need <strong>to</strong><br />

follow <strong>to</strong> use your player. Please do not contact Nolo’s technical support if you<br />

are having difficulty using your media player.<br />
