Data Import Overview
LabelMark and LabelMark Plus allow you to import data from other sources. Some things to keep in mind
when importing data:
•
You can import ASCII text files, Microsoft® Excel ™ and Lotus 1-2-3 ™ spreadsheets and
database files.
•
You can import data into a standard label file or into a label file based on a template.
•
Imported data is not dynamically linked to the source data. If you make changes to the source data,
the imported data remains unchanged unless you import it again.
•
ODBC import is still available, but there is now a method to import Excel ™ and Lotus 1-2-3 ™
spreadsheets that is easier to use (see Importing Data into Label Files ).
•
When importing a Lotus 1-2-3 ™ spreadsheet, first save it as a WK1, WK3 or WK4 file. Lotus 1-
2-3 ™ versions after WK4 are not recognized. If you cannot save to an earlier version, save your
data as a delimited ASCII text file and import it as text.
•
The data imports into the active file starting at the active label.
•
Each record in the import data creates one label in the label file.
•
Imported data will overwrite existing label data in LabelMark and overlap existing data in
LabelMark Plus .

Importing Data into Label Files
To import data into a label file:
1. Create or open a label file.
2. Select the starting point for the import by clicking the desired label.
Note: In LabelMark the import data appears alone on a text line. You cannot combine the import
data with other text. In LabelMark Plus , you can combine other text with the import data on a
"line".
