Using memoQ 8.3, I'm trying to figure out how to import a multicolumn bilingual .doc or .docx file. According to memoQ help, take the following steps:

- Select “Import with options” on the drop-down menu under "Import"
- Click “Change filter configuration”
- Change the Filter setting to “Multilingual delimited text filter”
- Check “Simple bilingual configuration”
- Indicate which column is the source and which is the target, etc.

- Indicate which column is the source and which is the target, etc.

However, when I check “"Simple Bilingual Configuration,” “Excel” remains checked, and I cannot uncheck it. Then when I attempt to complete importing the file, I get an error message saying that memoQ was expecting an Excel file. I've tried selecting just about every combination of options available, but nothing seems to work.

Any advice?
