Is the sentence correct?

Hi teachers,
Is it correct to say, 'She entered the names of the new dictionaries in the computer'?
Is there a different way to express the same idea?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Clive,
One more question please, is it better the preposition 'into' because the verb 'entered' indicates movement?
