CSV files

CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a common format used by many database style applications, such as Microsoft Excel and MS Address Book. You will probably find the ablility to export text data from many database applications as CSV. It provides a common way to distribute data from one application to another.

TexNotes can except CSV data files and will render them as a table in a document.

See Tables for more information.

Select from the Insert menu Insert CSV file as a table.

Then you will see the standard Windows file selector. Choose your CSV file then click on Open. A new window will appear with a data grid (not a table), showing the fields and lines of your data. You will also see some input fields under the data grid to define some default table properties. See Tables for more information.

After you have defined your basic parameters, click on OK to import the file or click on Cancel to abort the importing. After you click on OK, a table will be created in your current document, where you can use the Table Properties to enhance and edit the table to your requirements.

Microsoft Word documents

If you have Microsoft Word installed on your PC, then TexNotes will detect it and will be able to import limited MS Word documents.

Please Note: Most MS Word documents contains a lot of formatting that TexNotes doesn't understand, so your imported file may look a little different.

Future versions of TexNotes will have it's own native import filters, but if you need text from MS Word documents into TexNotes right now, currently, this is the alternative solution to copying and pasting.
