The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 4.0a, and 4.0b == 

= SUMMARY =

Works can open and save database and spreadsheet documents saved in comma separated format.

To open these documents as a Database or Spreadsheet file the extension “.csv” (without the quotation marks) must be added to the filename so Works knows what type of document it is opening.

For example, to open the file “Test Document” (without the quotation marks), you must rename it “Test Document.csv”.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To open a comma separated values database or spreadsheet, do the following:


 * 1) Name the file with a .csv extension.
 * 2) Open Works 4.0.
 * 3) At the Works Startup screen, click Existing Documents.
 * 4) Click the Database or Spreadsheet icon.
 * 5) On the File Format menu, click Comma Values DB or Comma Values SS.
 * 6) In the file list, select the file you want to open.
 * 7) Click Open.
