Note that you cannot import the Main page.
1.
Choose File > File Import to open the Import File dialog. Select the desired file and click
Open.
2.
The first dialog to appear (titled Step 1) asks you to pick a delimiter type (Comma or Tab) from
the drop-down menu, and to select what aspects of the file to import.
!
Choose Items, and click Next to proceed to Step 2.
!
Choose Pages, or Pages and Items, and click Next to go to Step 3.
3.
In the Step 2 dialog (for importing items only), select the page that you want to import the
items into.
4.
In the Step 3 dialog, match the item (s) in the Field list on the left to the Record column on the
right:
!
The Fields list contains a list of available fields that can be assigned to the item(s) in the
Record list.
!
The Record column displays the first item that occurs in the selected (import) file. Each
item in the file to be imported is treated as its own record. Use the forward and back
arrow buttons (under the Record list) to flip through each record. This way you can
perform a quick visual check on each of the items in the file, to verify that the delimiter is
correct, spelling, etc. The Record list shows each item as it will appear on the display
panel. If you find an error, or anything that you want to change in the Record, you'll have
to fix it in the source file, and re-import the file.
a.
Select the fields that you want to include with the record items in the Fields list. For
example, if you are importing a CD play list that includes artist names and song titles, you
would probably select Artist Name and Song Title as the fields.
b.
Using the up and down arrows, move the selected fields to align with their associated text
in the Records column. For example, move Artist Name into position next to the artist
name as it appears in the Records column, and move Song Title next to the song title in the
Records column.
5.
Click Next to import the file, and proceed to the Summary dialog, where you can view a
summary of the imported file (total number of pages and items imported).
6.
Click Finish to exit the import file wizard.
Exporting Files
You can export KPD files using the File > File Export option. This option invokes an export file
wizard that guides you through the process. The options in the wizard vary according to what
aspect(s) of the file you want to export.
