\label{Course_Convert_To_CSV}
To upload an Excel spreadsheet into LON-CAPA you must convert the
Excel spreadsheet into a \emph{Comma Separated Value} file, as follows:

\begin{enumerate}

\item Open the spreadsheet in Excel.
\item Choose \textbf{File}, and from that menu \textbf{Save As...}.
\item Select ``\textbf{CSV (Comma delimited)(*.csv)}'' from the ``\textbf{Save as type:}'' drop-down 
   menu, \emph{remembering where you saved it}.
\item Click ``\textbf{Save}''.
\item Click ``\textbf{Ok}'', or ``\textbf{Yes}'' for any windows that may appear, to create the
*.csv file.

\end{enumerate}

You can then upload the CSV file generated, as described in
\ref{Course_Create_Class_List}. 

Other spreadsheet programs can also export CSV files. Many of them
follow procedure very similar to Excel's. Consult your spreadsheet
program's documentation for more information.
