Google Base Help

Most spreadsheet programs allow you to export data into a tab-delimited file. Either of the options below will create a file with a name ending in the ".txt" extension. This is the file you should submit to Google Base.

If you're using Google Spreadsheets:

1. From the File menu, select Export and then .txt. Your tab-delimited text file will be displayed in a new window.
2. Select the Save as... or Save File As... command from your browser's File menu.
3. Name your file, and be sure to specify the file type as a Text File (*.txt) if it gives you the option. Click Save.

If you're using Microsoft Excel:

1. Open the File menu and select the Save as... command.
2. In the Save as type drop-down box, select the Text (tab delimited) (*.txt) option.
3. Select the Save button. If you see warning messages pop up, select the OK or Yes button.
