Inserting Tabular Data

You can import tabular data into your document by first saving the files (such as Microsoft Excel files or database files) as delimited text files.

To import tabular data:

  1. Select File > Import > Import Tabular Data, or Insert > Table Objects > Import Tabular Data.

    The Import Table dialog box appears.

  2. Browse for the file you want or enter its name in the text box.

  3. Select the delimiter used when the file was saved as delimited text. Your options are Tab, Comma, Semicolon, Colon, and Other.

    If you select Other, a blank field appears next to the option. Enter the character that was used as a delimiter.

  4. Use the remaining options to format or define the table into which the data will be imported.

  5. Click OK.
