Sometimes Photoshop can be a little too advanced for it's own good sometimes. Here is what I think is happening:

In order for MA2+T to recognize the BMP files, the files MUST be monochromatic images (1 BIT). If you are creating an image in RGB mode, unless you take a few extra steps, Photoshop will save the BMP file as an ordinry 16, 24 or 32 bit image.

In order to get the file to be recognized, convert the image to grayscale (Image>Mode>Grayscale) and then convert it to a BMP (Image>Mode>Bitmap).

Now when you save the file, the BMP options window should read 1 Bit, and the file will be able to be imported.

I will refrain from commenting on why someone would plop down 700 bucks on software they obviously have no clue how to use.
