Download spreadsheet and open on iPad?
In an online course that I teach, I regularly download the grades as a spreadsheet and open them, in OS X, with Excel. I can download in either Excel format or tab-delimited text format.
I access the course through the browser.
How can I do this download on an iPad 3 and open the grades in a spreadsheet program like DocsToGo?
When I try, it appears that the browser is attempting to open the download.
Is there any way to get past the iPad's attempt to corral all files into the app that created them (in this case, the browser that downloaded the spreadsheet)?
If I download the spreadsheet on the OS X laptop and put it into Dropbox, I can readily open it on the iPad using DocsToGo. That is not the solution I am looking for.
Thanks for your attention.
