What error messages or other indications do you get from Excel when you
try to open the Legacy created .csv file.

I must have confused you. I made a gedcom from ancestry and added it to Legacy.
From Legacy I created a csv file and tried to open it in Excel. It is opening
it in Excel that I am having a problem with. The csv file is there but I cannot
open it in Excel nor other downloaded csv files BUT I can open Excel files that
I have created in Excel.

I do not think that you can download a csv file from Ancestry. Just giving a
file a name like filename.csv does not change the content. if you downloaded a
file from Ancestry it is probably a GEDCOM file which is the standard format
for genealogical files.
Rename the file to filename.ged
Open Legacy and use file > Import > GEDCOM file when you have finished the import
from filename.ged Go to View > Name List Click Options > Print Now you will be able
to define up to three rows of data you can include for each person.
Select CSV file in the lower right
The print box in the upper right will change to Create Click create In the
dialog box select the folder where you want to save the file and assign a file
name Click save Remember where you saved that file Open Excel then open the
file you exported from legacy.
