I have followed the instructions to several tutorials to no avail. I have deleted all files and started from scratch numerous times. I started from scratch and am converting the excel glossaries in Converter (which is working find and showing me the number of entries it is converting), but when I get to Multiterm, I can´t import into the termbase I created for the glossary.
