Import a file of searches

You can also create a text file of searches and import them into the Enter Bibliographic Search Keys window:

1. Create an ASCII text file (file extension *.txt) using a basic text editor such as Windows Notepad.
2. Enter searches in command line format, each on a separate line.
3. Save the file.
4. In the Enter Bibliographic Search Keys window of the client, click Import.
5. In the Windows Open window, enter the full path and file name of the text file, or click Browse and navigate to the file, and then click Open. The client appends the searches in the text file to any searches already in the Enter Bibliographic Search Keys window.
