I downloaded the files from this site to use with a book I have. The files ask me to create a floppy disk. I don't have that drive on my computer. Any way to get around this? Save it to a CD?

It depends. What is the purpose of that floppy?

I think to save the application files that are used in the exercises from the book. It's asking for an A drive. I don't have that.

Yeah, direct it to your CD drive, and use CD to save data. Or, you can even use flash drive.
Must be really old program.

It is. It's an old Excel 2002 book I got. It has Excel lessons in it. Trying to refresh my skills.
