Simon Beer

I using excell 2003. I am new at this. I want to copy a worksheet from my home PC to one I use at work. I am not networked to the PC at work. I want to get the worksheet onto a floppy disk and the put it on my computer at work. There must be some way I can copy the sheet to a floppy and then paste it to a file on my work computer. any help would be appreciated.

First, don't ever save directly to the floppy and don't open the file directly
from the floppy.

To copy it to the floppy:

Save your workbook to your LAN drive (or harddrive).
(but note the drive, folder and filename)
close excel
open windows explorer
go to that drive, then the folder.
look for the filename
right click on it
choose: send to, then "3.5 in floppy"

(An empty floppy will hold about 1.4 meg. So check to see if it fits--but
explorer will yell if it runs out of space.)

====
At home:
put the floppy in the A:
open windows explorer
go to the A: drive
rightclick on your file.
select Copy

now go to your harddrive and find a folder for that file
(make a new folder if you want--call it WorkStuff)
rightclick on that folder
select Paste

You can now just double click on that workbook on your harddrive.

When your done, save it, close excel and sentto (like above) to the floppy.
