Troubleshooting > Problems with Data > My Data Don’t Paste into Fathom

You have copied data from somewhere, but Fathom’s Paste command is unavailable.

Make a collection to paste the data into by dragging one from the shelf.

You were able to paste, but the data didn’t come in cleanly or as expected.

If you can edit the source of the data, make it conform better to a collection Fathom understands: Each row or paragraph is a case (the first row can be attribute names).

Consider pasting the data into a spreadsheet program and cleaning it up there; then copy from the spreadsheet and paste into a Fathom collection.

See Paste Data into a Collection,Import Data from a Text File, or Import Data from the Internet.
