improving spreadsheet documentation

\label{Spreadsheet_About}

The \textbf{Spreadsheet} is used to implement complex grading policies in
your course.  It has the flexibility to implement most grading schemes
including partial credit for multiple trials, grading categories, use of maxiumum
or minimum scores, etc. and the spreadsheet tools 
provide access to all the parameters associated with the homework and
exams in your course.

This section of the course manual is divided into three main subsections. The
\textbf{Student View} section (\ref{Spreadsheet_Student_View}) describes what the students see.

The section \textbf{Spreadsheet Hierarchy} (\ref{Spreadsheet_Hierarchy}) 
describes information about the structure and function of the spreadsheet. A basic
understanding of the hierarchy is necessary before creating and editing spreadsheets.

The section \textbf{Modyfying the Spreadsheet} (\ref{Spreadsheet_Files}) describes
how to create and edit spreadsheets.
