No, those are file download types, not connection options. Money means OFX, 
Quicken probably means QFX but might mean QIF, QuickBooks probably means QBO 
but might also mean QFX or QIF. I don't know what Makisoft is nor what file 
type Sage likes. GnuCash can handle the Money or Quicken selections. Since 
Money is certainly OFX pick that and use File>Import>import OFX/QFX to import 
the data. It's both more reliable and less effort than importing CSV.
