menu. This gives you an alternative way to perform the same actions that are available from
menu selections.
Defining Properties of Delimited Text Files
After you open any CSV or TXT input file, the Text File Wizard appears. This wizard allows you to
define the properties of the input file.

The wizard creates or modifies format files that govern the properties of its associated input
and output text file. The format files are created in the same folder that contains the input file.
If this folder is not writable, the format files are created in My Documents\MapMarker USA\
folder. Format file are given the same name as the associated text file, but with an FMT file
extension. In most cases you will not have to examine or maintain the format files in any way,
but you can examine then using any text editor.
