Alright, now I'm confused. What does "tab-delimited" mean?
"Delimiting" is intarweb jargon for "separating with a specified character". In tab-delimited data, each individual bit of data is separated by a tab. It's important to specify the character because that's how the computer program knows what's data and what's a separator.
And if you're unfamiliar with the usage of "character" in the above explanation, that's another bit of intarweb jargon for "something you can write with a keyboard".
Okay, so could you explain what I need to do with the template spreadsheet I downloaded? I see that it has the states listed in the first column, and the counties for each state seem to be hidden. Using Microsoft Works Spreadsheet, how do I make those hidden rows appear so I can input data?
My n00bitude is apparent for all to see.
