I keyed in all of my paper logs in EXCEL when I bought DX4WIN as it was easy to manipulate the data to get all of the notes, frequencies, etc. I set the typeface to courier new to get a constant width and then set all of the columns to auto width. I had to actually create two logs, one for cw a and one for phone to get the RST to work correctly. Export the logs in comma deliminated format, import in WORD and then export in .prn format. I then built a filter to exactly match my columns with DX4WIN and imported all of the qsos. Watch the errors during the import to tell you where you have problems in your filter. The entire process takes about 15 minutes if you have to do it over 3 or 4 times.

Logs are stored in a dBase 4 format and therefore I have easily gotten the log file of about 10,000 records into Excel and can manipulate it there, etc. Is there any way to import Excel directly into DX4WIN??
