Comment Import and Export
Text registered as comments can be exported, and at the same time, text can be imported from
another data source.
• Two formats, TXT and CSV, are supported.
• Once text is imported, undoing is not possible.
• If a text import is executed during multi-language editing, the text is imported to the displayed
language number you are currently editing.
Comment import and export procedure
1. In the [Comment Edit] window, click [Import] or [Export] from the [File Menu] as necessary.
2. Either [Open] or [Save As] dialog is displayed.
For [Save as type:], choose [Text File (*.txt)] or [Csv File (*.csv)]. Then open the desired file, or
name and save the file.
