1. On the calculator file, "Flotsam Project 4.1", make any edits you want to the player data or rankings on the PlayerData tab. Keep the edits between columns B-BV. Columns BX-DL convert the 1-100 ratings to FOF's specific 375-625 rating system, so don't touch those.

2. When you're ready, find see the FOF Output tab on the bottom. Go there.

3. In A1, you'll see the year, (initially 1983). Replace that year with whatever year you want the draft file for and press enter. It will automatically filter out just those players and calculate FOF file friendly ratings for them.

4. Cut and paste the whole FOF Output tab into a .CSV file (removing row 1 and column A, so it's just the data) and save that.

5. Go to steamapps\common\Front Office Football Eight on your harddrive and open FOF's DraftFile application. Import the CSV file you've created to convert it to the file type usable by the game.
