Use Open or Import From File… from the File menu. |
We need to know if your data are in "text" form or if they're in a Fathom document.
If it's a Fathom document, things are simple: choose Open from the File menu. Select your file and open it. You're done!
If the file name ends in .txt, it's text. You can also import local HTML files as text. They have the extension .htm. or .html. Fathom files have the extension .ftm; old, developmental Fathom files have the extension .ds for "dynamic statistics." If it's a text file, try these strategies…
If your data are in a spreadsheet (such as Microsoft Excel), you have two choices:
Export the spreadsheet as tab-delimited text, and then Import it into Fathom
Copy the cells you want to the clipboard and paste the data into Fathom
If your data are in a graphing calculator, use link software to save the data as a tab-delimited text file on the computer. Then import the data as usual.
