USE 'PLAIN TEXT' (.txt) FILES ONLY: Import files must be 'plain text'. The easiest way to create one is to download a comment file from our site and open it on your computer. On most systems it will automatically open in a plain text editor. If you make changes and save, the file should automatically be saved as plain text. On PCs it will usually open in NotePad. On Macs, usually TextEdit. In Word, and other word processors, use 'save as' (see Word File menu) and then choose file type: 'text only/plain text'. ADDING HELPFUL NOTES: Lines starting /* are for notes (like this line). They are ignored when files are imported. You can add notes anywhere in the file. Blank lines are also ignored and can also be included anywhere. COMMENTS AND LISTS: Files contain groups of comments and lists. Each group should start with either: COMMENTS: your-comment-name-here or LIST: your-list-name-here List names are 2-30 characters long and contain only letters, numbers, '&', hyphens and NO SPACES. Comment names can include spaces, and any other characters except: < > \ # (max length 50). Each group may include up to 20 numbered lines, e.g. COMMENTS: Science Yr7 project work 1= #N's work on #Science-topics was excellent. 2= #N gave an inspiring #Science-topics presentation. 3= #N received a well-deserved A+ in #Science-topics. 4= etc... LIST: Science-topics 1= Heating and Cooling 2= Light and Sound 3= Exploring Magnetism 4= Changing Earth 5= etc... REMINDER... lines beginning /* are for notes. So to import the two science examples above, you would need to remove the /*, otherwise the lines would be ignored when imported.
