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

\begin{enumerate}

\item Open the spreadsheet in Excel.
\item Choose File | Save As...
\item Select ``CSV (Comma delimited)(*.csv)'' from the ``Save as type:'' drop-down 
   menu, remembering where you saved it.
\item Click ``Save''.
\item Click ``Ok'', or ``Yes'', at 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 the same procedure as Excel does. Consult your spreadsheet
program's documentation for more information.
