If you are switching to Access after keeping your data in another application, you may find the idea of retyping your data rather daunting. Fortunately, you rarely need to retype since you can either copy the data to the clipboard and paste it into Access, or use Access’s nifty import feature In general you will want to use the import feature if you are creating a brand new table from imported data, or if you are importing a lot of data.
