1. From the phonebook, click the File menu.

A wizard will guide you through the import steps. DBF, VCF, PAB, PST and WAB files are
automatically imported. Only text files with delimiters need you to specify their structure.
4.4.1.2 Importing text files with delimiters
When importing a text file with delimiters, you must define its structure so that the application
can delimit the various fields and records correctly.This information will be requested in the third
window of the import wizard. From this window:
1. Click the Browse button and select the file you wish to import.
2. In the Origin list, select ASCII/DOS if the file comes from a DOS environment or ANSI/
WINDOWS if the file comes from a Windows environment.
3. Specify the delimiters used to delimit the fields and entries (records) in the file.
If you don't know the type of delimiters being used, have a couple tries and check the
results in the Preview zone. If you do not select the appropriate parameters, the records
contained in your phonebook will not be displayed correctly.
4. If necessary, specify the Text identifier used.
5. If the first record of your file contains field titles, select the Display field names on first
line option.
These titles are then recognized as such and will not be imported as a record.
6. Click Next to continue importing.
Note:
If you do not want to import empty fields, select the Hide empty fields option. This option only applies if the field is not
filled out in any record. If this is so, in the Preview section the column for this field will be empty.
