First Line Used for Column Titles: You can use the first line of the text file as column titles or as
data.
To use the first line as column titles, check the First Line Used for Column Titles check box.
This will replace the generic FIELD_1, FIELD_2... labels and use the first row of the text file to
name the columns.
If First Line Used for Column Titles is not checked, the first line will be used as data just as any
other line in your text file. In this example, we will assume that the first line of the text file is used
for column titles.
When you have finished with step 1of the wizard, click Next to go to
step 2 of the wizard.
2. Step 2 of the text file wizard allows you to examine the fields (columns) in the input table and
change the field name.
Click a field name to see all the relevant information for that field. You can also change the name
of fields. Some fields cannot be changed, depending on they type of file that you opened.
For example, you could change the name of a field from City to Municipality.
Click Next to update your changes to go to step 3 of the wizard.
3. Step 3 of the text file wizard allows you to select the output file. This file contains the output
columns in which MapMarker will store the address components, result codes, and coordinate
information for each matched record after you geocode.
Typically, the output file uses the same base name as the input file with _out appended to the file
name. This prevents you from accidentally overwriting the data in the original input file. Click OK.
