-As an author you can create a spreadsheet XML file to import into your course. The file must be named with the extension .spreadsheet. Example:
+To use a spreadsheet in multiple courses, authors can create spreadsheet XML files in their authoring space. Published spreadsheets can be imported into courses. See \textbf{Loading a Spreadsheet Definition from a Published File} (\ref{Spreadsheet_Loading}). A spreadshet uses the syntax:
+
\begin{verbatim}
-'Available Points:'
-&SUM('X*')
-'Awarded Points:'
-&SUM('Z*')
+`Available Points:'
+&SUM(`X*')
+`Awarded Points:'
+&SUM(`Z*')
\end{verbatim}
+See \textbf{Modifying the Spreadsheet} (\ref{Spreadsheet_Editing}) for more information on programming cells. The file must be saved in authoring space with the extension .spreadsheet. Currently, a spreadsheet must be imported into authoring space as a .txt file and then renamed to a .spreadsheet. After it is published with the .spreadsheet extension, it can be imported into a course.
