To import entries in TXT or RTF format, your existing entries MUST reside in a single directory, in separate files, with the following naming convention:

 

YYYYMMDD.TXT or YYYYMMDD.RTF

 

where:

 

YYYY        is the year (Example: 1997)

MM        is the month (Example: 01)

DD        is the day (Example: 01)

 

An text entry for January 1,  1997 (1/1/97) would be named 19970101.TXT
