The yellow section - including the header row - is what you would copy/paste into the Upload page of the website
Up to 5 sides of text are support, so you can add columns for "Text 3", "Text 4" and "Text 5"
Adding Categories
Categories are used to filter cards when studying, so you can study just select categories.
Text 1 Text 2 Category 1
book libro Chapter 1
shirt camisa Chapter 1
speak hablar Chapter 2
Up to 4 different categories are supported, so you can add columns for "Category 2", "Category 3" and "Category 4".
Multiple category names (tags) can be entered by separating with a semicolon (;).
Adding Pictures and Sounds
You enter the file name of the picture and/or sound you want shown on each side of the flashcard.
The header tells the app what side to put each picture or sound on.
Text 1 Text 2 Picture 1 Sound 2

shirt camisa slide 2.jpg camisa.mp3
speak hablar slide 3.jpg hablar.mp3
In this example, in addition to text on side 1 and 2, a picture will be shown on side 1, and a sound clip will be included
Note that "Text 1" is not a required column, so if you don't have text to show on side 1, don't include this column.
Picture and sound file names can also be complete http:// addresses. In this case, you would not upload these pictur

Creating New-Lines in Text
If you want to force a new line in your text, use a special command to do this in Excel.
On the PC, use alt-enter in Excel to create a new line in a cell.
On a Mac, try the following: command+enter, option+enter, or command+option+enter.
Notice how the bright yellow cell has new lines in it. This will create new lines in your flashcards in the app.
