First go to http://documentation.openoffice.org/ and get some of the good docs we have; e.g. the user manual. Second. When you save the file on your computer from your PDA, save it with a .csv extension or simply open it from the Open dialogue but select the file type as text CSV. Next select your separator character. Open the file in Calc. -- Documentation Co-Lead PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list. Email sent directly to me may be ignored utterly.
