WELCOME TO THE EXCEL OBSTACLE COURSE (Sample Version)!
The objective of this game is to increase your efficiency with keyboard
shortcuts (hotkeys) in order to eliminate pointing / clicking with the mouse
or touchpad.
You will find that your Excel skills and speed will greatly increase as you
improve your best time through the course.
Note: Make sure you DON'T SAVE the course upon exiting, otherwise you
will not have the ability to restart the course fresh. If you mess up, close
out of the spreadsheet and don't save. Reopen the original copy and
restart.
Hit 'Start' Button to start the timer, then go to the "Column Delete" tab for
your first obstacle. When complete, go to the next tab from left to right.
There are instructions on each obstacle as well as hotkey tips.
Good Luck!
