4 Importing and Exporting Data
The procedures in this chapter can be used to import data from a file created
using another personal information management application into this
application, and to export this data from this application to a file that can be
read by another application.
Supported File Formats
This application supports import of files created using the following formats.
CSV
This is a text file in which fields are separated by commas. Its name normally
has the extension CSV or TXT.
TAB
This is a text file in which fields are separated by tabs. Its name normally has
the extension TAB or TXT.
Importing Data
1. Prepare the file.
• Use a personal information management, spreadsheet, or other application
to create a file in a format (CSV or TAB) that can be imported by this
application.
2. Import the file.
• You can use either of the following two procedures to import a file.
• Enter the Contact, Schedule, To Do, or Browser Mode, and then click File –
Import. Next, select the file you want to import.
• Drag the icon of the file you want to import to the (Contact),
(Schedule), (To Do), or (Browser) button and drop it onto the
button.
3. Make the required import format settings.
• Importing data automatically opens the Import Format dialog box, which is
