I'm using MLwin version 3.02. In older versions it was very easy to paste my dataset from Excel, and click ''use first row as names'' to make my upper row from Excel the column headers.
Now, I use edit-paste to import the dataset, but when I just click the ''use first row as names'' button (it's not a tickbox anymore), the data are imported but the column names are empty! If I don't click this button and click the paste button in the paste view window the column names are imported but the dataframe is empty!
It's something really simple probably, but so far I can't get it done and it's really frustrating. I hope any of you has the golden hint.

It still works for me
So copy data including name in first row from Excel to clipboard
In MLwiN
Edit on main tool bar at the top and then paste
and the Toggle on or off Use first row as names in the lower left box
the box will go darker and you will see the (revised) layout.

Thanks Cristian Ramos-Vera but obviously I'm well capable myself of finding the manual online :-)
Kelvyn Jones , thank you, this is exactly what I tried but it doesn't work even when the 'Use first row as names' button is on (and darker in colour). What I do now is uploading the data in an older version on my old laptop, then opening it in the newest version on my new laptop but that of course shouldn't be needed..
