A. BioDiscovery does not support the use of proprietary file formats. Rather, BioDiscovery has adopted the use of tab delimited text files. Microsoft Excel files can easily be saved as tab delimited text files as outlined below. To save an Excel Doc as Tab Delimited Text: 1. With the Excel document open, choose Save as… from the File Menu. 2. Select Text (Tab Delimited) from the Save as Type Option at the bottom of the Save as Window. 3. Specify a File name and location. 4. Click Save. 5. Microsoft will warn that certain elements cannot be saved in this format. Simply accept any warnings to complete the process. For additional information on the required text format, please see the documentation accompanying the software.
