This new version will accept text files or data files with
separators of comma, or TAB. It will also strip "" from
around text fields - certain spreadsheets differentiate text
from numerical data by enclosing it in quotes.
When loading a file which is not native chartdraw type it
must be dragged either to the iconbar icon or to the edit
window. Chartdraw will only respond to a double click on a
chartdraw type file. Files which chartdraw will attempt to
load are text (&FFF), data (&FFD) and CSV (&DFE). When
loading these "foreign" formats an error box will open,
asking whether the file contains what I am currently calling
header information. This refers to the main title and
sub-title fields. If the file does then click OK. If not
click on NO. The file will then be treated assuming only the
labels and up to four data fields are present. Have a look
at the new format data files on the disc.
There are some new editing features. You can delete a column
of data from the edit window menu. CTRL/SHIFT/COPY will
delete the current ROW of data and close up the gap.
CTRL/SHIFT/INSERT will insert a blank row ready for new data
to be inserted.
This current version is an interim version. Let
me know if you have any problems (send the disc back).
Suggestions are always gratefully received.
Note that this version has NOT been released into the public
domain.
