Bert,
I just tried importing an Excel file which I did as you stated above. I saved it to the desktop and then dropped it into the left-hand window of the imported items window. However, when I try to open it I get a message saying "a document with the name 00000002.xls is already open. You cannot open two documents with the same name, even if the documents are in different folders. To open the second document, either close the open document or rename one of the documents." What am I doing wrong?
