In this video, I create a screen mockup using Excel. Please excuse the fact that I placed check boxes on the page where I should have placed radio buttons. I don't think that Excel had a ready made image for radio buttons. Remember that you are free to choose any tool to create a mockup. I chose to use Excel because it is readily available and doesn't require many artistic skills.
