Importing Information into a Notebook
 
Choose File → Import to import documents created by other applications into a Notebook page.
 

For plain text files, optionally choose an encoding .  If you’re unsure, leave it set to “Automatic.”

NoteBook imports the following file formats:

• .txt —  plain text
 
• .rtf/.rtfd —  rich text
 
• .doc —  Microsoft word processing format;  NoteBook uses the .doc file reader built into OS X
 
• .opml —  “Outline Processor Markup Language,” a popular XML-based file format supported by many outlining applications
 
When importing, NoteBook recreates any outline structure it detects within the document.
 
 
 
By The Way

How does NoteBook detect an outline structure within text documents? NoteBook converts each line of text ending in a Return character into a single cell. NoteBook also counts the number of tab characters at the start of each line and indents the cell that many times.
