- Here's an interesting situation:
-
- I need to export dBASE (DOS) dbf's to MS WORD (Mac). I am sure that using
- ASCII will get the dbf's over to the Mac intact. However, the WORD
- documentation mentions that inorder to import ASCII database files, they
- should be delimited with TABS! I am not at all familiar with WORD, or Macs
- for that matter, and need to know if this is a must rather than commas.
-
- If so, how do I delimit a dbf with TABS? Any help would be GREATLY
- appreciated.
