How to import midi files in Sonar 8

Good afternoon everyone:
 
This may sound like a simple minded question but I am new to Sonar (or at least haven't used it so far) and can't find it in the user guide or on these pages: how do I open or import a general midi file into Sonar 8 Studio? The 'import' function seems to be grayed out (this is after starting a new project, using the 'normal' template).
 
Thanks!
