3.1.1 File Menu

New
Clears any current data and resets all options to default values, prompting to save current data if necessary.
Open
Opens the file dialog to open a ShotStat data file; this is not used to import target images. If the opened ShotStat data file was generated using graphical data entry, the Graphical Entry Page is opened and the entered shot graphics are displayed. On the other hand, if the file was generated using keyboard entry, the Keyboard Entry Page is opened. In both cases, the Statistics Output Window is opened and shot statistics displayed.
Save
Saves the current data to the currently selected ShotStat data file; if no file name is available to the program, this behaves the same as ``Save As.'' See Section 11.2 for more details.
Save As
Save the current data to a ShotStat data file after providing a file name. See Section 11.2 for more details.
Import Image
Opens the file dialog to import a target image file; available file formats are .gif, .jpg and .bmp. After successfully opening a selected image file, ShotStat automatically opens the Graphical Entry Page and enters Calibration mode.

Note: This Menu Item does not appear on the Keyboard Entry Page.
Export
Writes the current data to a formatted text file that can be read using a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice.org Calc. This is different than saving the data to a ShotStat data file. See Section 6 for more details.
Print
Sends the current data and computed statistics to the default local printer.
Exit/Close
For the Graphical Entry and Keyboard Entry Pages, closes the window (and all attached windows) and returns to the Main Page; for the Main Page, exits ShotStat, prompting to save current data if necessary
