   Is 'Description" a multi-line field that could be interpretted differently   
   line-to-line from Excel?  That's one of the common issues when going from   
   Excel to Paradox.   
      
   Are you importing to a NEW table each time, or an existing table?  In other   
   words, is Paradox creating the table as it is bringing in the data?  If so,   
   could you try bringing in the data to a table where you already have the   
   table/field definitions set as the data should be?
