Computer-assisted qualitative data analysis: using NVivo
Which file format is best for importing your project documents into NVivo?
Only .nvi
Any format, including .exe
Only .html or .htm
.doc or .docx
.doc or .docx
The NVivo version currently available is NVivo10 and it is this version which is described in chapter 25. Earlier versions had a problem with importing documents other than text files but NVivo10 can import Microsoft Word documents (.doc and .docx files) directly, as well as .rtf and .pdf files. It is safer to convert other document types to “.doc” or “.docx” formats before importing them into NVivo10, because they are easier to work on later. In addition, many other non-text file formats can be imported and worked on, including a variety of audio and video files. The best advice is to check out which version is available to you and visit the website for further assistance (www.qsrinternational.com).
