I am trying to import a large file of book data (2,000+ entries) into Books.
The original data
was in Hypercard. I exported the data to tab delimited text. I then imported
the file into
Excel and rearanged the columns so they were in the same order as I got from a
sample tab
deliminated text export from Books (v2.2.1). I then converted the excel file
back to tab
delimited text (it has Excel's text icon).

I then asked Books to import a file. It led me through a search for the file,
but when I
selected it nothing appeared to happen. I checked the web site and instructions
and didn't
see anything obvious.

Is the input file too big? Am I doing something wrong?

Please help!

Don
