The Import/Cells operation imports an NExS-format file
that was created with a prior Export/Cells operation.
The default file extension for cells format is .xc3. For
more information about exporting cells, see section 10.2.2,
``Exporting Data in NExS Format,'' later in this chapter.
To import data using the Import/Cells operation:
- Select Import... from the File menu. NExS displays
the Import Data dialog box similar to the one shown
in Figure 10.2.
- Click the File Format option button and select Cells.
- 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.
- 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.
- Click OK to complete the Import operation.
You can also use Import/Cells to import an entire NExS spreadsheet
(.xs3 file) into the current spreadsheet. Just specify the name
of the .xs3 file to be imported in the Import/Cells operations, and
all of the cells of the specified spreadsheet will be imported into
the current spreadsheet, translated to the location of the cell cursor.
