Last_Update September 3, 1996


Question

I am trying to import information into a file created using the askSam 2.0 clipping template. When I import, it does not have the template fielding. The documents do not have the entry form fields with it. Why not?


Answer

Only askSam for Windows version 3.0 includes an option to import into an entry form.


Resolution

When using version 2.0, you may be able set askSam to recognize some information as a field.  If, for instance, the word "Date:" appears in each of your imported documents, you can define a colon (:) as a field character under Options -> File Preferences, and type "Date:" in that file's entry form.

"askSam is an essential part of my software tool chest. I can research and collect data from anywhere and any source. Once it is in askSam I can edit, rearrange, organize, and search the information easily. Then I can present it and make it totally useful for other people via the web or CD. Fantastic!"
