If the data in an unspecified file is not in the correct format for an
application, you can restructure the file, using the scrap. Copy the data file
to the scrap, then insert the scrap into a work file for the appropriate
application. The instructions for restructuring an unspecified data file are
the same as for transferring data between applications.
Restructuring and Transferring Data
I. Open the unspecified file in the Word application. (Refer to "Run" in
Chapter I and "Merging a Text File into a Word Document" in
Appendix C.)
2. Insert I
TAB
I characters into the text if you wish to separate it into fields
or cells suitable for File or Plan. Insert I
SHIFT
II
ENTER
I characters into
the text if you wish to separate it into records, columns, or rows suitable
for Calendar or Plan.
3. Choose the Replace or Append scrap mode. Highlight the data you
want to copy.
4. Go to the command mode, and choose Copy or Delete. The data is
copied into the scrap (and deleted from the current file if you choose
Delete).
5. Quit the current application, and open the work file into which you wish
to copy the data.
6. When the application screen appears, position the cursor for correct
placement of the data (if needed). Go to the command mode, and
choose Insert. Some applications require further entries; refer to the
application chapters for more information.
