I know this is a feature, but I have yet to be able to use it.

Thank you for you help.

First, if you downloaded historical importer before 8/5/14 redownload as that file was messed up.
Once you've copied the data in Column H and pasted to text editor and saved, simply import the players using ootp's auto import historical players from text file option.
Pretty sure they will go to the free agents pool.
Now you have to manually assigned them to the team you want if you didn't want them to go to their actual team for that year.
Another alternative if you've imported a lot of players, is to:
1. export the rosters.
2. open the rosters in any spreadsheet and make note of the team ids. They're the top portion of the rosters file.
2. locate the free agents sections. It's always at the bottom portion of the file.
3. Now locate the players that you imported and change the team ID from zero (no team) to the team's id that you want them to play for.
4. Save the rosters file as either a txt or csv (you can import either type).
5. Reimport the rosters and all the players you imported should be on their correct team.
Hope this helps
