Go into the settings
and click on the "Import\Export" tab. Then
on the "from CSV File" button in the "Import" frame.

A dialog box should
appear asking you to select a CSV File. When you're
got one, click "Open".

You will now
see the filename you've selected and the option
"Don't add events that are already present".
This basically means that if there are any event that
are exactly the same (i.e. doubles) then they will be
ignored. It is recommended you keep this option selected.
Click on "Next" to move to the next step.

You now need
to map the headers. What this basically means is you
have to match up the columns in the CSV file with the corresponding
fields in Desktop Calendar. e.g. Start Date -> Date,
Subject -> Subject, Description -> Description.
All the headers from the CSV file should be listed in
the three drop down boxes. If you don't have (or want)
to use the "Description" field, you can select
"None". When
you've finished with the headers, you need to choose how
to interpret the date. If you know which format the
dates are stored in select it from the drop down list at
the bottom, if not, try keeping it on "Same as
System". This presumes the dates stored in the CSV
file matches the one used on your computer. Then click
"Next".

You will then be
asked which dates and types of events you want to
import. The date range options are pretty self explanatory.
"All Dates" includes every event in the
CSV File. "From today onwards"
includes all the events after and including the date
you're exporting on. And "Custom" allows
you to select your own date range. Clicking on the
down arrows next the dates opens a drop down
calendar where you can make your selection. You can't
select the type of events you want to import e.g.
only Weekly, Monthly etc.. because this is a Desktop
Calendar feature and such information won't be stored
in a CSV files (even if it was one made previously
with Desktop Calendar). When you're finished, click
"Next".

Now just check the
details are correct and click "Finish".

If the operation was
successfully the following message should appear
telling you how many events were imported.
