Hi ?B?V2FyZA==?=,

to recognize my field delimiter and record delmiter. The field delimiter is
a double quote and the record delimiter is the paragraph mark. However, the
dropdowns for both fields do not give me the option to select either of these
field delimiters? The preview pane shows the the fields in double quotes
with a paragaph marker at the end of each entry.

Because doublequotes are often used to designate that what is between them is
the literal field content (in case it would contain, for example, a paragraph
mark), I'm not surprised that doublequotes aren't allowed as field delimiters.
Try a TAB, a semi-colon or a comma.
