Another thing you could do is select Duxbury Coded Text (Windows) under the
Import Filter when you import the text file. I have found that if you do this,
it will not drop any text. Hope this works for you as well.

I don't know whether this has been fixed in DBT 10.5, but in earlier
versions, if you imported text using the formatted text importer, it would
lose characters beyond a certain line length, perhaps 255 characters. Many
text files are what WordPerfect called "generic word-processor format"
where each paragraph was a long line. When I suspect that this is going to
happen to my text file, I import it into WP (Word would also work) and save
it into that program's file format. These word processors don't lose
characters, even if a "line" is thousands of characters long.
