@DTMOW We have imported pages with keywords and Kim is quite right - the keywords and categories have to be setup first. There is no way to import all the categories and keywords at this time. Best thing will be to use Excel to open the XML file and grab a disinct list of keywords. You might have to fiddle a bit with delimiters to get it to work (we couldn't find a consistently successful mode for some reason). We ended up testing with a single row till we got a model that worked.
Honestly though importing from XML, CSV and Excel files was seriously unreliable - we often ad issues at the 100 row mark. We ended up going to database tables, as it was relatively easy to import our files into SQL server, which ran like a dream - 1500 rows in one shot at 5 times the speed! @Tim The images won't link up - you just can't do it. We ended up using post processing after the import to re-connect everything. We had a lot of items so we went directly to the database, but you could do it via RQL if you were committed enough. HTH.
