The video is a bit old, so what you'll see in WFP will be slightly different. Also, you can use drag and drop (no need to navigate to folders).
Before you import the DOC file again, it may be a good idea to check if your friend dealt correctly with the tags. Also (and this should be a warning in WFP, but isn't), if the source text or translation contains "[", then you may have to type it as "[[" (it'll also appear that way in the source text column), but you should also check the imported TXML file to see if those brackets were imported correctly.
