wizard not working

[Amy]

I am using Access 2007. When trying to use the import wizard to import a text
file I only get the initial import screen (where you specify the file and
whether you want to create a new table or append an existing table) followed
by the screen where you have the option to save the import steps. I get none
of the options that normally come in between - allowing you to choose fixed
or delimited, type of delimiter, data type for each field, etc.

I am stumped. Is there a setting some where that turns this on/off? I have
already done an uninstall and reinstall. Anyone seen this before?

This will probably sound like a dumb question, but what is the three letter
extension of the file you're importing? If it's not on the list of text file
formats, the import wizard doesn't go through all those other steps.
