How to get exact word import

# 6 years ago
sugarmags Member	I am using a list of words that includes hyphenated words and some phrases that I want to keep together…and in the order entered. Here is a sampling of the list (German states in the 19th century) Mecklenburg-Schwerin Mecklenburg-Strelitz Oldenburg Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach Anhalt Braunschweig Sachsen-Altenburg Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha The ones with hyphens are being split into separate words; the ones with "und" are being broken into three words, and the count/weight of e.g. Mecklenberg and Sachsen is higher because they are coming through as repeats of the same word. But I have them in this order for a reason, and I want to keep the order so that I can more easily weight them based on order. I know I can do all this manually, but I'm curious if there's a way to make the import more successful. Thanks!

I am using a list of words that includes hyphenated words and some phrases that I want to keep together…and in the order entered. Here is a sampling of the list (German states in the 19th century)

Mecklenburg-Schwerin
Mecklenburg-Strelitz
Oldenburg
Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach
Anhalt
Braunschweig
Sachsen-Altenburg
Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha

The ones with hyphens are being split into separate words; the ones with "und" are being broken into three words, and the count/weight of e.g. Mecklenberg and Sachsen is higher because they are coming through as repeats of the same word.

But I have them in this order for a reason, and I want to keep the order so that I can more easily weight them based on order.

sugarmags Member	Ah, I think I just answered my own question. I used the "CSV format" option when I imported, and it kept the words (including hyphens) together and in order!
