I presume the content of the file is actually something like comma delimited files? If so, you could change the file name to *.csv and tell Windows to open those files in OOo. Or, with OOo open, which seems to be the way you describe your usage above, do: File|Open|Files of type... Text CSV (*.txt; *.csv) [about half way down the list]. You'll then be prompted for the field separator options. -- Bob Long P.S. You have written to a mailing list where help is provided by volunteers.
