Your browser will download files into a folder specified in your browser preferences. This will probably be in the Downloads folder on your computer. If you do not know where your browser stores downloaded files download a file from our website and then type the name of the downloaded file (e.g., PlanningLesson01) into the search area of your Finder window. The location where your browser stores downloaded files will be shown at the bottom of the window. Remember this location.

If you would like to save your lesson files somewhere other than where they're downloaded, create a folder to save them (e.g., create a folder named Bridge Baron PPL on your desktop or in your Documents folder.)

Techie Tip: If your Mac supports Smart Folders you can do the following:

• Create a New Smart Folder
• Click on the + button
• Select Name, ends with, and enter .ppl
• Save the file in a convenient location

Your Smart Folder will automatically contain all the .ppl files on your computer no matter where they were downloaded.

Download Procedure:

• Select one of the links on our website. This will open a window asking you what to do with the file.
• Select Save File. Select OK.
• Open the folder where your downloads are saved. You will see a file with the same name as you downloaded except the last three letters will be "ppl" instead of "zip". This is the file you will be able to use in Bridge Baron.
  • You may also see the file you downloaded (ending in "zip") depending on what version of operating system you are using. If so, it can be deleted.
  • If you dowload the file containing all lessons, the Bridge Baron files will be inside the folder and the name of the folder will not end in "ppl".
• If you have created a special folder to store your lesson files, move the file or files ending with .ppl (e.g., PlanningLesson1.ppl) to your special folder.
  Note: If you have created a Smart Folder for your files you do not need to move the files - the Smart Folder will automatically contain all your .ppl files.

Your browser will download files into a folder specified by your browser/Windows settings. This is often in a folder named Downloads (or something like that). The hardest part of this procedure is usually finding where your computer stores downloaded files.

If you would like to save your lesson files somewhere else, create a folder to save them (e.g., create a folder named Bridge Baron PPL on your desktop or in your My Documents folder.)

To create a new folder right-click an area of the desktop or in the folder where you'd like the new folder and select New Folder.

Download Procedure:

• Select one of the links on our website. This will open a window asking you what to do with the file.
• Select Save File. Select OK.
• Open the folder where your downloads are saved. You will see a file with the same name as you downloaded.
• Double click on the file that was downloaded. A new window will open which shows two files referencing the Mac and one that does not. Drag the file that does not reference the Mac to the desktop or folder where you want to save your Bridge Baron files.
  • If you dowload the file containing all lessons, the Bridge Baron files will be inside the folder you just dragged.
