Note: Assuming you have an Internet connection, you may open a web page from this dialog by entering the full URL, e.g.http://www.duxburysystems.com/support.asp. The http:// prefix tells the computer to look externally to the Internet rather than the local files.

If you select a file which did not originate in DBT, for example a Word file, you will see the following Import File dialog appear. If DBT can identify the file type, it is automatically highlighted for you in the Import Filter list.

For imported files, you must also select a template to use. (For convenience, you may also set a default template for later use.) The "Set template as default," "Hide Template," and "Show Hidden Templates" controls work the same way as the corresponding controls for starting a new file. Please, refer to
