To change the method of displaying files click the rightmost icon '''Views''' and select an option from the drop down menu.
# Select the desired file from the indicated folder. Only one file can be imported at a time.
# If the '''Contents of the selected file''' field the information is garbled, choose the proper encoding in the File origin.
