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.

• 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 –

mode into which you are importing. See “Using the Import Format Dialog
Box”.

them, click OK to import the file into the mode you selected in step 2.
