-----------------------------------------------------------------------Requirements
XLGradebook runs on any machine that has MS Excel version 2007 or higher.
Copies for earlier version of Excel are available on request.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Installation
XLGradebook is supplied in compressed form in the file XLGRADES.EXE
self-extracting archive for a PC in pkzip format) or in XLGRADES.ZIP, a
standard (not self-extracting) zip file.
There are a number of files when installed:
XLGradebook.xlsm is the actual gradebook. You can make as many copies of
this as you like (for your own use) and rename it as required, too.
XLMarksheet.xls is a file that can be used to creat marking sheets for use
with XLGradebook.
XLGrades.doc is the documentation.
XLGrade.xls is not an Excel Add-in and no modifications to your system,
including Excel itself, are carried out during installation.
Installing on a PC
Simply copy the supplied file to an empty directory or folder on your
hard disk and either run them (EXE files) or use an uncompression program
that can handle pkzip files to extract the files inside to the same
folder. When copying EXE files, make sure that you do not just create
shortcuts to the existing files.
If you get the files on floppy disks you can run the setup program (this
just copies the supplied files to a folder on your hard disk and unpacks
them).
Installing on a MAC
Use a de-compression program that can handle pkzip (.zip) files and
extract the files inside the supplied files to an empty folder on your
hard disk.
If you installing an upgrade in the same directory as an older version,
first delete all the old XLGradebook files - if you don't you will
probably be warned that you are overwriting files. If you are warned
simply choose to overwrite or type "a" for "all" at the
Overwrite (y/n)?
prompt if you get it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Using XLGradebook

Open XLGradebook.xlsm (or a copy renamed as you want). You'll see a

number of worksheets. The front one (called, simply, Gradebook) is the
main one where your student information is recorded. Buttons are provided
for carrying out the commonly-needed operations. Click "Help" for more
help.
XLGradebook.xlsm contains macros - if prompted you must click to Enable
them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Uninstalling
The XLGradebook files can simply be deleted at any time without causing
any problems or side effects.
