2. On the File menu, click Import. The Open dialog box appears.
Figure 76: Open Dialog Box
3. Navigate to the location where the file you want to import resides.
4. For Files of type, select the type of file you want to import.
5. Click the file and click the Open button. SDM imports the entries into the
current dictionary.
As a shortcut, you can double-click the file in the Open dialog box to import its
contents into SDM.
If there are no UDs open, the imported file opens in a new UD window
automatically. If there is more than one UD open, SDM tries to merge the
imported data into the currently active UD file.
Exporting Files
There may be times when you want to work on dictionary entries outside of SDM. For
example, you may want to export a UD, TM, or ND in Microsoft Excel format, so you
can perform Excel activities on the file. You can then use SDM’s import feature
(described on page 143) to import the file back into a dictionary if desired.
