The Chronolator Browser Tools can work with chronologies produced by Chronolator for Word.

However, the Browser Tools and Chronolator for Word use different types of file. This section describes how to transfer chronologies between them.

Transfer from Word to one of the Chronolator Browser Tools 

On the Chronolator toolbar, press Publish > JSON to produce a file in JSON format:

Note that the JSON file is unencrypted and readable by humans with a simple text editor. If you want to prevent this, open it in one of the Chronolator Browser Tools and save it: this will produce a txt file that only the browser tools can interpret.

If you want to further protect the chronology with a password, follow the instructions in the Browser Tool's Help.

Transfer from one of the Chronolator Browser Tools to Word (or Excel or other program)

There are three ways to transfer data from the Chronolator Browser Tools to Word:

Use the Conversion Tool if you want to use Chronolator for Word features. If you only want to produce a plain Word document, you can use the Clipboard as described in the individual tool's Help.

Using the Conversion Tool

The conversion tool works on a JSON file. To make one, press File > System > Export.

In either case, the aforementioned Web page includes instructions about how to use it.

Importing a JSON file into a Composite Chronology

Chronolator for Word Version 5.00 Composite Chronologies can import JSON files, except for the very first one. To start a new Composite Chronology with a JSON file, you should download the latest version of the Blank Composite Chronology from www.chronolator.com/downloads/download-composite-chronology.htm instead of creating one in the Online Workbench.
