• If it's there, find your set in ACO's Scan Gallery
• Open your favorite spreadsheet program.
• Type in the header row. It usually starts with # for number. It should end with OWN.
• Continue with your checklist. The last cell, under OWN, should be "YES NO ___"
• Double check your checklist, and save it. If you don't want to POST your own checklist, you can STOP HERE. Send the file to mystavash@animecards.org.
• Now, click "Save as..." other formats.
• Save it as a CSV file (see the drop down for file formats for the right one.)
• Close your file. It may give you some error messages about "Are you SURE you want to keep it as a csv file?" Yes, you are sure.
• Find the file on your computer. Right click it, and Open with Notepad.

• Click save. Leave this file open.
