I'm brand new to ArcGIS and am a student...

I have installed the program and am trying to work through my first exercises in ArcMap but when I try to "Browse for more" in the Document dialogue box, I cannot find my ex03a.mxd files.  Can someone give me advice on what to do?

hmmmm a simple way is to fire up File Explorer in your operating system and search the C: drive for ex03a.mxd

If/when you find it, you will know which folder to browse to. 

If you don't find it, it might not be installed

Thanks, I'll try that.  Not only am I learning the ArcGIS program, but am transitioning from my beloved macbook to windows.. that alone is almost enough to make me quit school, lol..  thanks again.
