Creating a New Blank Library

You can get started quickly by creating a blank library, then add data to it as you would in a spreadsheet.

To create a new blank library:

1	Choose File > New Blank Library.

Bento creates a library with a default name and opens it in table view.

Bento creates a blank record for you. You can add data to this record (see ”Creating Records in Table View” on page 70), or you can delete the record (see ”Deleting Records from a Library” on page 39).

2	Double-click the library name to rename it.

3	Click in the highlighted cell to start entering or pasting data.

See ”Editing Records in Table View” on page 71 and ”Copying and Pasting Data in Table View” on page 71.

Note  If you already have information from another application that you want to include in Bento, create a library and records in that library by importing your information. See ”Importing Information into Bento” on page 116.
