Steps

How do I download a sample copy of Inspiration?

Inspiration Sample CD is available for educators' review for 30 days only. You can download it from http://www.inspiration.com when we are close to the unit. (Do not do this too early. You won't be able to install the program on your computer again once it is expired.)

The link "DOWNLOAD DEMOS" is available on the left hand side (blue frame) of their web site.

Choose one of those links, fill in form as required, click "send". Choose the one file that works on your Mac or PC, and write down the file name on a piece of paper. Once when you start downloading it, your computer will ask you where you want to save the file. Remember where you save it.

Locate the file and double-click on it to unzip (assuming that you have the appropriate software for this.)

Once it is unzipped, click on the folder and then the colorful icon to open it up in your computer.

(I am not downloading this when I write this for you, so there may be some missing steps. Ask me if you have problems.)
