1. Install the MetaStock software on your personal computer. You can install it by buying the DVD or downloading it from the Internet. Follow the onscreen prompts and make sure to install the software on the hard drive that contains your operating system install. This helps speed up the program and prevents some glitches. Double-click on the MetaStock icon to open the MetaStock program. It will open a spreadsheet like in Microsoft Excel.
2. Click on 'File' and then 'Open' in the drop-down menu. This will open a directory browser that will allow you to find your MetaStock data files. Open the file that you wish to edit by clicking on the file icon and then clicking 'Open.' You now have the data of the MetaStock file open before you. Change the data by clicking on the text field and entering the new values. Click 'File' and then 'Save' to save the changes you have made to the MetaStock data file.
3. Alternatively, go to 'File' and then 'Save as' to save the file in Excel format. If you save the data in Excel formatting then you can open and edit the data in Microsoft Excel. Double-click on the newly created Excel file to open the file in Microsoft Excel. Once the file is open, you can edit the data just like any other spreadsheet by clicking on the data and changing the values by typing in new ones. Click on 'File' and then 'Save' in Excel. Then click on 'File' in MetaStock and click on 'Import' to reimport the Excel file back into MetaStock.
