New MicroStation Utility Offers Surefire Way to Link Huge Excel Spreadsheets
Jump to Website Here
CLEARWATER, Fla., Sept. 28 -- Axiom, the world's largest independent developer of MicroStation utilities, recently announced the
release of a major upgrade of Microsoft Office Importer -- the company's
utility that pastes huge amounts of spreadsheet and word processing data to
MicroStation with excellent formatting. Microsoft Office Importer 3.0 now
allows MicroStation users to easily create stable links of spreadsheet and
word processing data in MicroStation files. Additionally, Microsoft Office
Importer 3.0 can automatically update the linked data every time the
MicroStation file containing the link is opened -- no user intervention
required!
Incredibly useful to MicroStation users is Microsoft Office Importer's
recently added capability to paste huge amounts of spreadsheet and word
processing data to MicroStation. Tests done found no problem in pasting an
Excel spreadsheet containing 14 columns and 700 rows of data with a single
paste. In addition, Microsoft Office Importer's advanced formatting
capabilities intelligently handle text height and width, text alignment, font
face, character bolding, italicizing and underlining, spreadsheet cell borders
(in MicroStation) and more, producing data that closely approximates the
appearance of the data in the source spreadsheet or word processing files.
New feature -- updating data while working in MicroStation files
In addition to updating linked spreadsheet or word processing data every
time a MicroStation file is opened, Microsoft Office Importer 3.0 also allows
users to update linked data manually -- that is to say, while working in a
design file. Four simple mouse clicks and the linked data is updated with the
last modifications saved in the source file.
New feature -- displaying the file paths to source files
At the click of a button, Microsoft Office Importer 3.0 allows users to
display the file path pointing to the source file to which the spreadsheet
data [in a MicroStation file] is linked. The path information along with the
link type [whether automatic or manual] is displayed above the linked data.
New feature -- link management
A link manager is included with Microsoft Office Importer 3.0. At the
click of a button, the link manager allows users to edit the source files of
the linked data [in the software application of the source file]; change links
from manual to automatic and vice versa; and unlink links without the
side-effect of unselectable elements.
