3. Click the Browse button to find the desired file.
4. Select the delimiter used to separate the fields or cells of data from the Delimiter option list. The
options are Tab, Comma, Semicolon, Colon, and Other.
If you select a file with a .csv extension, the comma delimiter is automatically chosen,
although you can change the option if necessary. CSV is short for Comma-Separated Values.
5. If you choose Other from the Delimiter list, a blank field appears to the right of the list. Enter the
special character, such as the pipe (|), used as the delimiter in the exported file. Now that the
imported file characteristics are set, you can predefine the table into which the information will
be imported.

Import Tabular Data command.
6. If you want to set a particular table width, enter a value in the Set To field and select either Pixels
or Percent from the option list. If you want the imported file to determine the size of the table,
keep the Fit To Data option selected.
7. Enter any Cell Padding or Cell Spacing values desired, in their respective fields. As with standard
tables, if you don??™t enter a value, most browsers interpret Cell Padding as 2 pixels and Cell
Spacing as 1 pixel.
