The instructions in the textbook are for MS Office on the Windows Operating System. MS Office appears differently on the MAC Operating System. MAC Users: If you choose to use a MAC OS (MAC computer) for this class, it will be your responsibility to manage the differences between the instructions for an PC user and a MAC user. Excel is mostly designed for Windows users. MyLab IT has provided alternate instructions for MAC users for the many of the projects but not all. NOTE: There are some assignments that CAN NOT be completed in the MAC OS. REQUIRED: Contact your instructor for more information regarding using a MAC computer for this class. Some functions will be unavailable as a MAC user so students will need to plan for using a Windows computer (local library or a friend's computer) for several chapters so they can complete the work for the class.
