Import CSV File

Top  Previous  Next

CSV files can be a little tricky to import as. As the word, definition and note are separated by commas it is a problem if you enter commas within your word or definition. For example a list contain the following line would be ok

 

agon, struggle or conflict, a quick note

 

but this line would not

 

agon, struggle, conflict, a quick note

 

That is because a comma has been placed within the definition. This can be fixed by using colons instead of commas.

 

It may be that you that you have a list of words for spelling in which case there would only be one column. For this reason when you load an csv file you will see the following window asking exactly what kind of csv file you are importing. If there are any mistakes in the file you will be advised what the mistakes are so you can correct them.

 

If you have Microsoft Excel installed on your computer it is much simpler to use that to create lists as the import process will deal with any unwanted characters
