Importing data from other documents

When you want to work with information from another database, you can:

import a database created in a different application (if AppleWorks
supports the format). You open the entire database as an AppleWorks
document.

insert information from another AppleWorks database. AppleWorks
pastes the whole database into the current database.

insert information from saved ASCII, DBF, DIF, or SYLK formats. You
select the fields to insert from the other database.

Any changes you make in AppleWorks affect only the AppleWorks
document into which you import or insert the data. The document that the
data comes from remains unchanged.
