Step 5

It appears this step was copied from the Make Table query on page 443, but not modified for the Append Query instructions being addressed here. When following this step as written, a dialog box appears that says "Query must have at least one destination field."

Suggest rewording step 5 text to something similar to:
In the append dialog box, select a table from the current database by using the list picker, or select Another Database and type the file name or use the Browse button to locate the file.

Note from the Author or Editor:
In step 5, the wording would be better as In the Append dialog box, select a table from the current database by using the list picker, or select Another Database and type the file name or use the Browse button to locate the file."

Steps 1-4 under To access workflow settings in a repository

Suggest rewording this procedure and the 4 steps to improve accuracy. It appears to mix steps and descriptions for both creating a new workflow and accessing an existing workflow, but the steps are different enough that I'd suggest they not be mixed. The resulting descriptions, screens and displayed breadcrumb are different for each.

Steps 1 and 2 are fine as they are for both creating new and accessing an existing workflow.

Steps 3 and 4 are mostly correct to access a blank workflow page. Only suggested change would be in Step 4, change 'Library Settings' to 'Document Library Settings'.

To access existing workflow settings, I'd suggest using the current steps 1 and 2, and then add the following:
3. In the Settings section, click the drop-down list under Workflow Settings, and select Workflow Settings from the menu.
4. On the Workflow Setting screen, select the desired type from the 'These workflows are configured to run on items of this type:' list. The name of the workflow displays under 'Workflow Name (click to change settings)', along with the number of workflows in progress.
5. Click on the desired workflow name to access the 'Change a Workflow' screen and view/edit the existing workflow settings.

Note from the Author or Editor:
On page 534 - 535, replace steps 3 and 4 with:

3.3 Apply and Manipulate PivotTables

The majority of images and related text on pages 244-257 refer to a file called 'Population.xlsx' (according to the titlebar shown in most images). These examples/images are actually from a Chapter 2 Practice File called 'Function_examples.xlsx', on the worksheet/tab called 'PopulationData'. I would recommend noting this at the beginning of section 3.3 so users wanting to practice with the file and matching data can do so as they read thru this section.

Before you record a macro, you should also determine whether to use absolute or relative cell references . (You can use a combination of the two as necessary) . If you keep absolute references, the macro operates only in the specific cells you use when you record the macro . For example, with absolute references, if you insert a series of dates or names in the cell range A1:G1 as a step in recording a macro, that macro works only in that cell range when you run it . If you use relative references (by clicking Use Relative References in the Code group), the macro will insert the data in any comparable range of cells.
