Present status is that I have the file imported with the Norwegian 
characters. It appears the problem was with Excel on creating the csv. 
This time I did it with OOo Calc. That's good. I can see everything.

I still cannot figure out how to type an "Å" however.

I also need to figure out why I cannot select a row.

But, progress is being made.
