wordpad is no longer available on my system now that Microsoft Word is
installed.  it eliminates Wordpad from the system.
CSV is an acronym for "Comma Separated Values".  not Character separated values.
 If the Germans are not doing commas, that's not our problem.  their wiki is
wrong.  wikis have been wrong before. developers have known for years that CSV
stood for comma separated values.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values
"Each record is one line terminated by a line feed (ASCII/LF=0x0A) or a carriage
return and line feed pair (ASCII/CRLF=0x0D 0x0A), however, line-breaks can be
embedded."

But, as they said, "no formal standard exists."
In spite of this, compatibility with applications such as Excel I think would be
paramount to OpenOffice.org's offerings.  In fact, this is the main reason why I
offer it to people as a community distributor.
If the CSV format of Calc is not compatible with Excel, and it is supposed to be
Excel compatible, I think this is something that should be fixed.

Why the attitude?
