Audiamus query

[Nick Thieberger]

Margaret,

A simple way to deal with this is to open the text file in a
spreadsheet and swap the order of the columns (to text, start, end),
then save it as text again. You also need to select seconds and
milliseconds in the export option from Elan rather than hh:mm:ss.ms.
