After you click the download link, you will be prompted to run from location or save to disk; choose save to disk. Then you will be prompted to select where on your computer you would like to save the program; In the file drop down window, select your "desktop" (or any other location you WILL remember).When the download is complete, there will be a new icon on your desktop that looks like a miniature computer monitor called "(what ever the name of the download link is).exe"; Double click that icon and the program will begin setting itself up on your computer. You will be informed that a new folder will be created on your desktop called "Monument Masonry" - you may select another location, but I strongly recommend that you allow the program to load itself to the default location on your desktop, as you can move that folder later if you desire.
Then simply double click the folder called Monument Masonry; inside double click the Excel spreadsheet you downloaded. Multiple downloads will all go to the same folder.
