Hi Nasrin, For your use case either from the StartCenter or with Writer already open simply use the File -> Open dialog. And on the chooser -- rather than default "All Files" scroll the listbox down into the Writer section select the "Text - Choose Encoding (.txt)" entry. Then select your text file from the UI. You'll be given another dialog that will let you set properties for importing the text, i.e. Character set (including Unicode in utf-7, utf-8 or utf-16), Default font, Language as well as what gets treated as the Paragraph break on import. Give that a try, some mix should give you reliable import filtering.
