Page 37: Step 6 Should Refer To Cells D2 and D3

On page 37, Step 6 should refer to cells D2 and D3 instead of C2 and C3.

Change:
"When you entered the formula, the formula you saw was =C2, not =R[-1]C. The formula =C2 really means "get the value from the cell just above me" - only as long as the active cell happens to be cell C3."

To:
"When you entered the formula, the formula you saw was =D2, not =R[-1]C. The formula =D2 really means "get the value from the cell just above me" - only as long as the active cell happens to be cell D3."

Page 108: Error In Step 5

On page 108, in step 5, the second sentence is in error.

Change:
"The cell A1 changes to 1."

To:
"The cell B1 changes to 1."

Page 160: Error In "Make A Double Decision" Section

The instructions in Step 3 are to "Press F5 repeatedly to execute the macro."

Step 3 should read "Press CTRL+SHIFT+R repeatedly to execute the macro."
