This Excel spreadsheet contains complete information on the texts used in the corpus (article ID, year, date, title, author, section, and number of words). The [ID] column refers to the [t] value in the URL in the [title] column of the Keyword in Context display. For example, if the URL is http://corpus.byu.edu/time/x4.asp?t=824347&ID=39942022, then the [textID] is [824347], and this corresponds to [The Big Money] (Sep 3, 1956) in the spreadsheet.
