from a quick look at the docs (...\WinTools\KingKanji.html) it appears that this program uses
the quite common EDICT file format. see:
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/edict_doc.html.
your Excel spreadsheet should hopefully have 3 columns:
kanji | [reading1/reading2/.../readingN] | /meaning1/meaning2/.../meaning3/

Do you remember?
"example from jlpt2_02.kf:
泉 [セン/いずみ/いず] /spring/fountain/
where kanji and reading are kana in EUC encoding and everything else is in ASCII. just export that spreadsheet as plain text in EUC encoding with a single space as the delimiter with an extension of '.kf' any you'll be set.
note: the EDICT format doesn't support showing a kanji and it's compounds at the same time. at least not easily. you could force it by adding the compounds to the kanji or readings seperated with a 、or a / (EUC versions). or you could just add a seperate entry like you find in EDICT.
泉 [いずみ] /(n) spring/fountain/(P)/
泉下 [せんか] /(n) Hades/the hereafter/
泉貨紙 [せんかし] /(n) reclaimed paper/
泉水 [せんすい] /(n) fountain/miniature lake/(P)/
泉石 [せんせき] /(n) springs and rocks/
泉熱 [いずみねつ] /(n) Izumi fever (resembles scarlet fever)/"
Well, I am trying to do the same. It would make creating lessons a breeze if I could just move around what I want in the spreadsheet instead of re-entering it in the lesson editor. Now I have discovered the Gakusoft kf files appear as CSV files to excel. If you open a file in Word it also appears as delimited and just use the EUC to import. I can export as EUC from word and only native files appear. If i create a custom file and save as EUC it does not show. and if i reopen the same attempted file it looks like windows encoded it as Big5 Chinese. If I save as PRN file it actually shows up in lesson editor, but all Kana is lost as ???? , do you know how to ensure EUC encoding out of excel?
