Importing and exporting tabular data

Tabular data that has been created in another application (such as Microsoft Excel) and saved in a delimited text format (with items separated by tabs, commas, colons, semicolons, or other delimiters) can be imported into Dreamweaver and formatted as a table.

You can also export table data from Dreamweaver into a text file, with the contents of adjacent cells separated by a delimiter. You can use commas, colons, semicolons, or spaces as delimiters. When you export a table, the entire table is exported; you cannot select portions of a table to export.

To import table data:

1. Do one of the following:
   • Select File > Import > Tabular Data.
   • Select Insert > Table Objects > Import Tabular Data.

   The Import Tabular Data dialog box appears.

   

2. In the dialog box, enter information about the file containing your data.

   For more information, see Setting the Import Tabular Data dialog box options.

3. Click OK.

To export a table:

1. Place the insertion point in any cell of the table.
2. Select File > Export > Table.

   The Export Table dialog box appears.

   

3. In the Export Table dialog box, specify options for exporting the table.

   For more information, see Setting the Export Table dialog box options.

4. Click Export.

   The Export Table As dialog box appears.

5. Enter a name for the file.
6. Click Save.
