-    <para>To import data from <trademark
-    class="registered">Quicken</trademark>, MS Money, or other programs that
-    use QIF(<trademark class="registered">Quicken</trademark> Interchange
-    Format), you must first export your data to a QIF file. One way to do this
-    is to export each account as a separate QIF file. An easier way, available
-    in <trademark class="registered">Quicken</trademark> 98 and beyond, is to
-    export all accounts at once into a single QIF file. Check your program&rsquo;s
-    manual to determine if this option is available.</para>
-
-    <para>Once your data is in QIF form, follow the easy 3-step import process
-    described below. Before you get started, though, please note that part of
-    the import process involves checking for duplicate transactions, so it is
-    very important that you load <emphasis>all</emphasis> of your QIF files
-    before importing. Duplicate transactions result when more than one account
-    is involved. For example, if one of your transactions transferred money
-    from savings to checking, you would end up with this same transaction
-    recorded twice - once in the savings account and once in the checking
-    account.</para>
