How Do You Use Spreadsheet Files for Tag Configuration?

With the Tag Configuration Editor, you can export tag configuration
information to spreadsheet files, and import tag configuration information
from spreadsheet files. The files are tab-delimited text (

) files.

Select File»Export… to save the file as a tab-delimited

file. When

you select Export…, a dialog box prompts you to select and order the
fields you want in your spreadsheet file. If you intend to edit the
spreadsheet file and then import the edited information back into the Tag
Configuration Editor, select the All>> button to select all available fields.
