I suggest adding this section:
==Displaying letter grades in the grader report==
To change category and course summaries (called aggregations) to display letter grades, do this:
# In the gradebook, select Categories and items
# Click the edit icon for Category total or Course total
# From the Grade display type menu, select letter
Repeat this for any other totals that you want displayed as letters.
To change individual graded items to letters, do this:
#Click on grades and then select 'edit course settings' from the drop-down list.
#Under 'grade item settings', select 'grade display type' to be letter.
#To change the percentages that correspond to each letter, select 'edit letter' instead.

I also think this section should be called Assigning and Editing Letter Grades (we don't use the term "grade letters".  Is this a U. S. English problem?  If so, maybe we could say Assigning and Editing Grades as Letters?  Whatever you think.)  There is more in this section than editing, though.  Or could be.

On my 1.9 site there is no "Override Site Defaults" option on the grade letters page. Is this information correct? --[[User:Howard Miller|Howard Miller]] 09:30, 24 April 2008 (CDT)

:Howard, you're very observant :-) The override site defaults checkbox in ''Site administration > Grades > Letters'' was a bug, which has now been fixed. It only appears on the grade letters editing page for a course. --[[User:Helen Foster|Helen Foster]] 09:39, 24 April 2008 (CDT)
