I've harped on this forever. Why people use CSV is beyond me. TAB delimited file are much more safe to use - avioding the nested quotations or comma character issues. Regardless, OOo should generically recognize *textual delimited data* and open it in calc. Even if it's a text file that happens to have an .xls, .xlw, .qpw, .aaa, .xxx - *anything* extension - if it's textual delimited, calc should win. Threads like this come so regularly that it should be an FAQ. Unfortunately, AFAIK, OOo 2.0 still will not offer a solution. -eric wood --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
