Create a new MegAlign Pro project based on a classic MegAlign project or gapped FASTA file

To create a new project based on a classic MegAlign project file or a gapped FASTA file:

1. Do either of the following:
   
   
   • From the Welcome tab, click Open Project on the left. Then use the option Import alignment on the right.
     
     
   • Choose File > Import Alignment.

2. Navigate to the file you wish to open. The file must be in MegAlign (.meg) or gapped FASTA format (.fasta, .fas, .fap, etc.).

3. Click Open.

The following video (which launches, by design, at the 3:05 minute mark) demonstrates how to open existing MegAlign Pro and classic MegAlign projects.
