• Along with the new window Term base CSV import settings, a warning is displayed about Non-Unicode code page,because my files have no BOM (Byte Order Mark, code containing the byte order of the file) . You can ignore this warning, as all the files in the package are coded in Unicode UTF-8, so press OK to dismiss the warning.

  – Leave the selection Do not import for the fields you don’t want to import
• When all settings are filled in, click the OK button; the import process should start
• Sometimes, warnings are generated during the import process. Normally, these warnings relate to characters that are not deemed valid by memoQ in one of the additional fields. These warnings can normally be ignored. If there are warnings generated for fields 2 or 3, please inform me so I can possibly refine the extraction process and help you find a remedy, if necessary. You can save the import log by copying all text in the log window into a separate text file. memoQ does not store the log file by itself.
