Like all ITE “wBooks”, it’s a Microsoft Excel workbook which you can modify and extend any way you wish to support your needs. It’s a pure Excel .xlsx file (no macros or other internal coding) so it can’t harbor “macro-malware” and it doesn’t need programming skills to modify. 

You save it on your own systems but there's no new software from us to install. And you don’t need to register an account with us, worry about the security of our online systems, or pay subscription or maintenance fees. 

You'll need a Mac or a PC and a copy of Microsoft Excel that's less than 10 years old. Click here for even more about weBooks.

1. Use the Buy Now button to pay, then download and save the weBook ZIP file to your computer using the link provided in the order confirmation and/or the eMail.

2. Optionally, confirm the download is virus-free. We take care to ensure the ZIP file is safe and contains no malware. However, as a standard best practice, we recommend that you always use your antivirus program (and/or VirusTotal) to double-check that no malware is included in any files downloaded from the Internet before you open them.

Click "Extract All" to select a destination folder and then click "Extract" to extract the weBook files to your selected working folder.

5. Open the eBook by double-clicking the "Apps&Things.pdf" file that was extracted. This will automatically use whatever reader  program your computer is configured to open PDF files with -  this could include your browser, Adobe Acrobat, or another built-in PDF reader program such as Preview on the Mac. If nothing opens, download and install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader program and try again.
