In a nutshell, to export  the Text version of the Online Entries into an MS Excel spreadsheet:

  1. Open the TEXT version of the Online Entries.
  2. Right mouse click(*) in the document and select the item that is labeled "Export to Microsoft Excel.
  3. Two things should open up, and empty excel spreadsheet, and a "New Web Query" window.
  4. At the bottom of the "New Web Query" window, select "Import" (Do not change any of the default settings).
  5. An "Import Data" window should pop up (do not change any of the default settings), select "OK"  (at this time, all online meet entries should appear in your spreadsheet).
  6. Highlight columns A through E; from the pull down menus at the top of the page, select Data, then Sort.
  7. A "Sort" window should pop up. By default, Sort by Column A in ascending order should be selected (do not change that setting). Select "Header Row". Now select OK.
  8. Now your spreadsheet should be in alphabetical order.
  9. At this point, you can save the excel spreadsheet and/or print it.
