For example, if you have a Word 6 MAC OS X document named letter that you want to open in Windows, you need to rename the file letter.docx so that Word in Windows will recognize and open the file. If you want to open a MAC OS X file in Windows, you may need to add the extension to a MAC OS X file name so Windows can recognize it. For example, the doc extension tells your computer that the file is a Microsoft Word file. For example, in letter.docx the filename is letter and the extension is docx. Extensions are important because they tell your computer what icon to use for the file, and what application can open the file. The extension is a three- or four-letter abbreviation that signifies the file type. By default, Minitab uses the separator that is specified in your computer's regional settings.Windows file names have two parts the file's name, then a period followed by the extension (suffix). From Decimal separator, select the character that is used to separate the integer portion and decimal portion of a number.For example, if the field delimiter is a space, and the text value is John Smith, then the text value needs to be enclosed in text qualifiers. Text qualifiers are necessary only if the text value includes embedded field delimiters. From Text qualifier, select the character that delineates text values.Minitab interprets two consecutive separators as missing data. If you select Custom, enter a custom character.

From Field delimiter, select the character that separates the values in the text file.The Open Text File dialog box displays a representation of the text file. For example, if the first three values in a column are Red red RED, and you select this option, the values are imported as Red Red Red. This option applies only to data in the columns, not to the column names. Correct case mismatches: Select this option to correct letter case mismatches in text columns by applying the capitalization of the first occurrence of a text value to all matching values in the column.Nonprintable characters may be embedded in text when you import text from external sources. Remove nonprintable characters and extra spaces: Select this option to remove nonprintable characters and extra spaces from text columns.Add missing values to make the number of rows the same across all columns: Select this option to add missing values to shorter columns so that all columns have the same number of rows.Do not import blank rows: Select this option if you don't want to import blank rows.For example, if you enter 999, Minitab converts all instances of 999 to the missing value symbol *. If your file does not follow these conventions, specify the missing value conventions for the Numeric columns and for the Text columns in the file.

What values represent missing data in your file? Minitab uses * for missing numeric and date/time values, and a blank space for missing text values.
