To import tabular data:
1
Choose File > Import > Import Tabular Data, or choose Insert > Tabular Data.
The Import Table dialog box appears.
2
Browse for the file you want or enter its name in the text field.
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.

Use the remaining options to format or define the table into which the data
will be imported.
5
Click OK when you’re done.
Inserting dates
Dreamweaver provides a convenient Date object, which inserts the current date in
whatever format you prefer (with or without the time) and provides the option of
updating that date whenever you save the file.
Note:
Keep in mind that the dates and times shown in the Insert Date dialog box are not the
current date, nor do they reflect the dates/times that a visitor sees when they display your
site. They are examples only of the way you want to display this information.
To insert the current date into a document:
1
In the Document window, place the insertion point where you want the date
to be inserted.
2
Do one of the following:
•
Choose Insert > Date.
•
Open the Objects panel by choosing Window > Objects, then open the
Common category and click the Date button.
3
In the resulting dialog box, select a format for the name of the day of the week,
a format for the date, and a format for the time.
4
If you want the inserted date to be updated every time you save the document,
select Update Automatically on Save. If you want the date to become plain text
when it’s inserted, and never update automatically, deselect that option.
5
Click OK to insert the date.
Tip:
If you have selected Update Automatically on Save, you can edit the date format after
it has been inserted into the document by clicking on the formatted text and selecting Edit
Date Format in the Property inspector.
