Opening and Importing Files

There are several ways to open an existing file to be used in Gnumeric. Usually, a given file can be opened in Gnumeric if Gnumeric also allows the file to be saved in the same format. Other file formats may be imported into Gnumeric (see the Section called File Formats for a list of supported formats).

Opening Files

The Open File Dialog can be invoked several ways. It is available in the Menubar from the File/ Open.. menuitem (see the Section called The File Menu. in the chapter called Gnumeric Menus). There is also a toolbar Open (see the Section called The Standard Toolbar. in the chapter called Gnumeric Toolbars). All these methods are equivalent.
