How to import ASCII file format into Unscrambler?
- Open Unscrambler and select menu File - Import - ASCII or File - Import 3D - ASCII.
- ASCII files can be formatted two ways.

- The ASCII Stream file contains data only (no names) and there is no formatting that indicates the number columns and rows.
- The size must be specified beforehand.
- The ASCII Block file indicates its size using line feed characters to end each row.
- It can contain column and/or row names, in which case column names occupy the first line (row) of the file while the row names introduce each of following lines of data.

- If relevant, click OK to access the next dialog "Import 3-D" where you will specify your 3-D table layout (see the Unscrambler help, Import 3-D Dialog for a detailed description).
