IMPORTING AND EXPORTING

Import

The process of moving data or settings used in one program to another. For example, a user may import their e-mail address book into the latest version of MicrosoftOutlook.

Export

Process of taking data from one program or computer to another. Exporting can also be used as a method of backing up portions of important data. For example, using the Microsoft Windows Registryeditor, a user can export key values in case mistakes are made when editing that key.
