10.1.7 Importing Text Files

   

To import a text file into the spreadsheet:

  1. Optionally, select the range of cells into which the numbers will be read. If you do not select a range, NExS imports the data starting at the current cell.

  2. Select Import... from the File menu. NExS displays the Import Data dialog box similar to the one shown in Figure 10.2.

  3. Click the File Format option button to select Text.

  4. Click on the Selection entry box and type the name of the spreadsheet you wish to import, or select a spreadsheet by highlighting its name in the Files list. NExS imports the file at the current location of the cell cursor.

  5. To select a different directory, double-click on the directory name in the Directories list. NExS then displays the names of files in that directory in the Files list.

  6. Click OK to complete the Import operation.
