6. If you have previously created
the .EXP file, this screen will
ask if you want to overwrite
the existing file. Typically, you
should overwrite the file,
because updated information
is now being placed into the
.EXP file. Click Yes on this
screen.

7. Your export file has now been copied to the
floppy disk. Take the diskette (or USB drive)
to school and place it into the floppy drive
slot or connect the USB drive to your
school’s computer. On that computer,
access GDP and from the File Menu
click Import Student Data.
8. The Import dialog box appears,
with the student’s export file
displayed. If this is the correct
file, click Import at the bottom
right of the dialog box. Your
GDP assignments have now
been transferred to your
school’s GDP location.

You have just successfully completed the eight steps to transfer your work
from your home computer to your school computer. In essence, you can
now use your home computer just like you would a computer in your
school lab to complete your assignments and build keyboarding speed and
accuracy at home. After completing your assignments, you can take your
work to school and place it into the GDP program on your school’s
computers.
