Import problem

When I import voson data base analysis file at NodeXL, the software fails to import the file with very long message. I hope I can cut and paste this message or attach screen shot. Here is parts of message...

New instructions for installing VOSON+NodeXL

Please see the software page (VOSON+NodeXL tab) for revised instructions on how to install the VOSON+NodeXL plugin.

Here is a summary of the instructions:

(1) Save the VOSON+NodeXL DLL file to any folder on your computer (for example you might create a folder NodeXL_plugins in your Documents folder, where you store other NodeXL plugins).

(2) In NodeXL, go to NodeXL->Data->Import->Import Options in the Excel ribbon

VOSON+nodeXL now shows pagegroups, not URLs

Today we made a change to VOSON+NodeXL which means that when you import a hyperlink network into NodeXL, the node labels (what is shown in Vertex1 and Vertex2 in the Edges tab) are pagegroups rather than URLs for particular pages.

If you don't know what is meant by a "pagegroup", please see the VOSON documentation here, but briefly, a pagegroup is a collection of web pages from the same website.
