I have a newbie word processing question.I have never usde ms office or any word process tools and I want to try out this domain tool
but it says need to use ms excel.So I thought I heard goo had a free spreadsheet like this so I try goo docs but that doesn't seem to be for anything but sharing not make spreads sheets anyone use this device with a free software they could point to ? It does say "These files can be imported into any spreadsheet or database program"
"Overview

The Pending Delete Domain Evaluation Program is a new beta offering from VeriSign that identifies a set of valuable data points to help you evaluate domain names that are pending deletion from the active zone (i.e., after domain names have passed the Redemption Period in the domain name life cycle).
How to View the Reports

The report is provided in Pipe (|) delimited flat files. These files can be imported into any spreadsheet or database program. Since the files are zipped in a *.gz format, they must be extracted prior to viewing."

"To use MS Excel to read the data please follow these steps:

1. Open the data file in MS Excel.
2. Highlight the column and choose “Data” from the file menu then choose “Text to Columns” and check the delimiter “,” or enter “|” as appropriate.
3. Select “Finish” and the data will parse."

You can create spreadsheets and import files with Google Doc's spreadsheet, but I can't provide instruction because I have not tried it. I would try the FILE - IMPOERT menu options and see if you can make it work.

If not, then I would go and download Open Office that includes a spreadsheet program that should work much like Excel and is free.

Lastly, there may be other programs better than that one from Verisign. Check around and see before you use that too much.

P.S. I did a search for this and found that Dynadot has a Data Analyzer Tool. This may be the same thing in a online tool that you can use. But you may been to qualify for "bulk pricing" before you can use it.
