Click `Next»` where the next screen (see below) gives you options to ensure the data is imported into OpenRefine correctly. The options vary depending on the type of data you are importing. 4. Click in the `Character encoding` box and set it to `UTF-8`. This ensures that OpenRefine correctly interprets the imported data as UTF-8 encoded. If you don't select this you may find that some special characters (e.g. smart quotation marks) are not displayed correctly. 5. Ensure the first row is used to create the column headings by checking the box `Parse next 1 line(s) as column headers` -6. OpenRefine will automatically select "Use character" to enclose cells containing column separators (such as a comma) as part of their data.

OpenRefine will automatically select `Use character " to enclose cells containing column separators` (such as a comma) as part of their data. This will make sure that OpenRefine doesn't misinterpret any commas (or other characters) within the column data as a delimiter. Keep this option selected. 7. From OpenRefine 3.4 onwards there is an option to Trim leading \& trailing whitespace from strings when importing separator-based files. Keeping this checked will ensure that values like `English` and `English `, which differ by a single trailing space, are not treated as different values after the import 8. Make sure the `Attempt to parse cell text into numbers` box is not checked, so OpenRefine doesn't try to automatically detect numbers because this could cause errors such as confusion between date formats (e.g. DD/MM/YYYY vs MM/DD/YYYY). 9. The Project Name box in the upper right corner will default to the title of your imported file. Click in the `Project Name` box to give your project a different name, if desired.
