Exporting and Importing Files

graphics/microsoft134.gif

When you export data, you save an open document in a new format so that it can be opened in an entirely different program. When you import data, you insert a copy of a file (from the same or another program) into an open document. For example, you might import an Excel worksheet into a Word document to create a one-page report with text and a table. Or you might want to export part of an Excel worksheet to use in another program.
