WARNING:  If a file appears in the Resume Importer screen with odd characters like %*#& and squares, or an error message, ensure that the file is not originally corrupted by going to the file from its originating location where it is saved and ensuring that it is not password protected. Files with special formatting of box fields within the file do not convert to text into Deskflow and will cause errors.
